Here's a few close up pics of my latest diorama... I really like how this one came together... raging seas and sky and the details of the ship wrecking as it runs aground on the Florida reefs... definately calling this one "Dragons Teeth"...

Well, I was invited to and attended a meeting at the Sebastian Inlet State Park on Wednesday with Park Board members, Park Manager/Staff/Rangers, Park Volunteers, etc. and the vote was unanimous to move ahead with commissioning me to create a large 1715 Fleet shipwreck diorama for the McLarty State Treasure Museum! So excited to have this opportunity and was so pleased to have my work well received. I anticipate that this project will take up to 3-4 months to complete and I will update this thread as things progress. Thanks to all those who were complimentary and encouraging to me... its always a bit scary to put ones artistic endeavors before "judging eyes".

Big congratulations to you. :thumbup:

Judging from the small ones you do and the amount artistic tallent you put into them I am sure big one will be magnificent. ...


Look forward to seeing pics and when completed I will make a special trip to see it...

Sorry no I didn't see it... my desktop crashed, have a friend recovering data and re mirroring my hard drives.

When I get home I will take care of it via my smart phone...
