Entering the final lap, not quite the final stretch, for this year's NMRBO diorama. Track is down, painted and balasted. Bridges are installed and the road has been paved. All the landscape structure has been shaped, plastered and painted (though not yet in these photos). Now comes the planning stage where smaller decisions are made. This post is about just one such decision - where to place the chicken house.
In the first photo you can see the little red shed behind the main house, with a pale green wagon next to it. Ditto the second photo, but I've rotated the shed and wagon 90 degrees counterclockwise. Right now I'm leaning towards the second orientation. But I've been cogitating over this one for a while. I had thought about a barn in that space but it was too much competition with the main house. The chicken house is just the right size but getting it placed has been more challenging than I first thought it would be.
Your diorama is looking great! Is there a road, driveway, or path for the truck to drive on? Maybe knowing its location would help place the chicken house.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed there will be a driveway running along left to right from the bend in the road, past the fence gate, behind the house and chicken house to the edge of the diorama. The wagon will be "parked" with weeds growing around the wheels and chickens roosting on it - an attempt at humor.
