Wright Flyer 2 at Huffman Prairie

Between the two vertical posts is what is called a reveal which will be the only space for viewing into the shed.

It will result in the such way of displaying...

I thought of building the complete shed but that would not be a box diorama. So I have decided to compromise and build the box and finish the front and sides with wood siding like the interior. I will enlarge the viewing area to show just enough to raise the viewer's curiosity and encourage people to look inside. Both ends will be removable as well as the top for pics and maintenance.

The hand above is 1/18 scale./the tongue depressor would be would be well within the scales required by 1/18 or even 1/24 although for 1/24 I probably would use the smaller coffee sticks.

I have stopped using power tools except for a belt sander at almost 78 I don't feel quite as comfortable using them as I used to. I have switched to using an Exacto knife and cardboard that way I make my structures is almost as strong.

Wise move. Nice work you are doing here.

The Backyard Flier (1/16th)

This is the first 1/16th Flyer build that I did years ago. It is a Model Expo kit modified to become a Wright / Curtiss backyard flyer.

Hi John,

Your model is wonderful - I look forward to seeing the final results.

One word of caution, if you don't already know. If you're planning an engraved plaque to display with the model, the location was Huffman Prairie, not Huffington.

All best!

Dana
