You know what? if you mount them in a box, and cut a peep hole in it, you can make like one of those keychain picture/kodachrome slide viewers for it. make kind of like a small lightbox, with a solid front with a peephole. when the person looks through the hole it will be a "3d" rocket park; paste an appropriate landscape picture in the back of the box. leave the top and sides open for the casual viewer, and to illuminate the diorama.
