Over the next couple of days, the email DAILY UPDATE is going to be centered on a discussion of displays; in particular, ideas about the type of displays we want to do for Club Shows. As you all know, I have a lot of opinions and I am pretty vocal about most of them. I think it is very important though that we really put a lot of thought and planning into what each of us want to display and how we are going to go about it. Tomorrow's discussion in the email starts out with a look at how we want to do a large club diorama; is it a floor diorama? is it on tables? how many buildings are required to effectively get across the illusion of a larger city? How many vehicles, how many figures, etc, etc, etc.

I think it is important to plan. You all have already seen this drawing of my firebase concept.

Of course you have also seen the module in it's beginning stages and are aware of the fact that it doesn't look exactly like the plan because there were issues that came up during the building that I didn't anticipate. However, all of the features that I planned to incorporate in this drawing are in the actual module, even it it varies some in appearance. And I guess that is sort of my point, when we have a plan, we know where we are going, even when the road is rocky.


Example two;

Anyone who has ever seen a Haunted M5 story, has seen these buildings, but did you know that they started out as small scale drawings. My plan in building them was to have five buildings that could be set up in different patterns to create different parts of a city or town, or even a different town. I knew each building had to be a little bit different, but not so different that they would be instantly recognizable when they were meant to portray a different location than the last. So I started with rough drawings. And the result is seen below.

Well, that is all for this evening. Read the email UPDATE tomorrow and then feel free to post comments on both here.

well guys, most of you know how I feel about displays, BIG!! lol I really have alot of fun building it so I tend to try to go as big as possible. I've been toying with the idea of a 4x4 cavalry fort but i've been thinking 8x8 in the basement would be even better if I don't get choked to death for it lol

By carefully thinking and planning, with adequate courage and confidence, we have no reason to fail.
