Meriadoc Brandybuck Posted February 23, 2022 Share #862 Posted February 23, 2022 Flying boats are such interesting subjects. I’ve always wanted to do a diorama with them, but a painting is better perhaps, able to show the atmosphere, light, and clouds, being uniquely immersive for the cost of a few hours’ work (if your previous comments are to be believed), as opposed to the months it would take to make such a diorama in scale, and the loss of the bedroom to store it.
