John W Reid Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) This is a 1:16th diorama that I did for the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa Canada.It tells the story of the most interesting era in aviation as far as I am concerned.The years between 1919 and 1929 before a lot of air regs when flying was just for fun.Cheers! John. Edited January 21, 2018 by John W Reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John W Reid Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 1:16th scale.The title reflects an era in aviation that pretty much anything went,no air regulations and no right way of doing things.There will never be another era in aviation history quite like this one.

John Masters Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Superb diorama John. If I remember correctly you used to post your fine work on another WW1 forum? I enjoyed it then too...

John Masters Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Your dioramas always have a good story, a sense of dialogue if you will, to go along with the fine modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinback Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Oh my! Thanks for posting John. I have normally just plonked my finished aircraft on the shelf but want to do more in the way of dioramas. This is giving me a bit of the kick/inspiration that I need. I will keep it simple first though! Edited February 24, 2018 by Pinback typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
