Excellently done. I particularly love the stains on the rendering above Walden Books.

Thanks Barry, I love to do this kind of weathering.

Thankyou for the journey, Job! With the figures and last details it all comes fully alive. A wonderful scene. I can understand why the last shot is your favourite - it's brilliant.

 

The way the lighting shows in Walden works very well too, I think. The shot from above is interesting, I didn't realize there was so much distance between the warehouse and the arch fronts. It's one of those things that 2D photos don't always show.

 

What's the next project? I'm impatient already :-) 

The lighting is still not final, but gives a good impression of what I want when the diorama is placed in the APA-box.

I personally love the final appearance or the book shop. I'm also pleased with the blue scenes (movie poster, yard door and record shop front).

I have finished my story line. So the next project will be the start of the story introducing my protagonist. I still have to make a design for the diorama. To give you a hint :

the Victorian era and Edward Hopper inspired me for this diorama. 

Really lovely Job:-) How about a cat watching over the scene, sat on the wall above the door on the right of the diorama.

Thanks Dave,

I like the idea of the cat on the yard wall. Will see if I have one somewhere around here. 

Keeping this quote in mind:

"All cats like being the focus of attention."- Peter Gray (psychologist)

I love that last picture.

And to help you a little bit more:

of course I will build  my own interpretation. It has a little bit to do with coffee.....  but more with one of my favorite themes; reading. Actually I make to little time for that.

Yes, just one figure in the next diorama.

Hmm, I thought you were going to do a coffee shop. I can't guess it! I will have to wait and see :-)

I still have to order the figure:

And for the design you have to wait, but I'm working on it.

Reading book, not an E-book according to the description on the webpage of Monty's Models.

I will see how it looks like when I have the model at home. 

Other wise it is wise-full thinking, with an E-book there is no need of reading glasses. 

Lovely stuff, very atmospheric and a lot of attention to detail.
