Wow Bill... there are huge amounts of effort & ingenuity there, man... I was searching some days ago 1:144 scale models & figs to "think" about a possible box diorama with forced perspective... I was thinking in going from 1:35 to 1:144 directly, but: 1º.- forcing / limiting the vision angles of the dio, and 2º.- breaking the visual line from the 1:35 subjects to the 1:444 ones, using some disrupting elements like a broken wall, a window, low brushes, etc...

I believe strongly that today this kind of effects (perspective) are almost forgotten, and also that the visual concept of designing a dio / vignette from a specific, optimum story-telling "camera filming angle" (like in movies) today is sacrificed to favourish a 360º vision of the story-concept / maximum miniature detail at least in the 99,99% of the dios

Your dios always make (in my mind) to recall resemblances with Shpered Paine history-telling dio style, Bill. I don´t know if he is retired from modelling, but he has done a lot of box-dioramas, and I (again) think that altough they have evident limitations (the box dioramas, I mean), they can also provide awesome opportunities & attributes to story-telling.

Yes, I LOVE this kind of dios, Bill
Congrats, mate, you´ve tons of what I think are creativity & experimentation attitude.
Please, keep us feed with your works!

PS: I have evident english language limitations in what I intend to express, so mates... excuse me please ! some times I don´t know if I´m being able to transmit properly the idea / concept from my mind to the written phrases...
