Aviation Art,My way

[JohnReid]

I am not talking about your traditional type 2 D art drawings or painting of airplanes,no my way is quite different.In fact it is so new that the traditional gatekeepers don't know how to classify it.I hope you like it and please try to keep an open mind.

I build dioramas for the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa ,Canada.I have three on display there now and a fourth one will be on display sometime this year.
My latest creation is an attempt to bring sculpture and modeling together in a 3D storyboard type diorama.The story revolves around the relationship between a Peregrine falcon and an old Bleriot aircraft and mans early attempts to take to the air.

Here is a mockup of what I am planning.The bird will be full size and the airplane 1/10th scale.

The bird sculpture is 90% finished and the Bleriot is now well under way.

Beautiful sculpture John. Wish I could carve like that! Looking forward to seeing the finished project. I've yet to get to the Ottawa Aviation and Space Musiem. Someday I hope. :-)
