What is a storyboard diorama,simply put it is a diorama that tells stories.This model didn't start off to be a diorama but it kind of evolved into one over the years.It actually is my first diorama of seven that I have built so far and the only one that I have made of a ship.I hope you enjoy what follows..

Hi John, I like what you have done with your copper tiles. It looks like a mixture of tiles that have been aged and tiles that are still new, it gives the copper plating a unique profile. How did you achieve this effect? Regards

Regards Hi Glenn ! it is really quite simple you just heat the plates till red hot and quench them in cold water.I use an old butane lighter for this operation.
