AARC... I have made 7 shipwreck related dioramas over the years...
Thanks much RTR!! Glad you liked it... Besides my two dioramas in the museum and donating some artifacts and the Bernard Romans map to the museum, they have asked me to help redesign some of the older displays and weāre working in some brand ones as well...
