Help request, looking for an article

[SandiaPaul]

Greetings,

I'm looking for an article that had some ideas about building a layout as separate discrete but connected dioramas. I thought it was in one of the model building annuals but I can't find it. Also tried the other annuals but then got to thinking maybe it was here on the forum. All I know is I'm certain it was a Westlake thing! Searching here for diorama and shadowbox brings a good many results...just not the ones I'm looking for!

Does this ring any bells?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul, Do you recall what the layout looked like at all? Scenery? Time frame?
 Tha might help fire a few of my remaining memory cells.

So...not really except for one weird detail I do recall. There was one picture that had a water heater in it. And I thought what a neat way to deal with it. That since the whole thing was sections with "blank" spaces between them it didn't matter the water heater was there.

I ask this because I am in the initial stages of planning something and I always thought is was a cool idea. I don't really need to find it as I kinda know what I want to do...but it's always helpful to see someone take on it. Thanks!

PS...it is very possible I took this issue and put it somewhere "safe", that being the reason I can't find it now!

I think I remember what you're looking for. I will try to dig it up and, if possible, extract it as a PDF for you. If I'm successful, it will be your Christmas present. -- Russ

I've lost so much stuff that way! I put it somewhere "so I won't lose it" and that's the last I see of it. The surest way to find it is the buy a replacement. Then the lost item will turn up right away.

[SandiaPaul]

Yeah...but why do I keep doing that?!?
And you maybe said to get a replacement in jest...but I have done that more than once. And a couple times I do find the original eventually!!

Ray...someone was asking about you on the On30 FB group the other day and wondering what happened to your layout.

Absolutely. This place is awash with impressionable young children and delicate females who know nothing of the male form .

  So Barney , keep your nuts to yourself and don't display them again .

Just out of curiosity, could anyone post a few pictures of the layout?

Russ would probably want your nuts to do something like that!!
