I have just about finished the diorama base; just a few more details to attach such as railing and some brick work.

The foliage is complete. A close look reveals a bit of color in the gardens which is executed by dry brushing some oil color over the styrofoam foilage.

The trees went in easily and were secured with GOOP underneath.

ND is secured to the base and the next step is to build and attach the light box

There are actually street lights on the edge of the walkway that abuts the Seine River, but I think I'll leave those out so as not to overwhelm the diorama. There is such a thing as too many detail elements.

Wow! Glad I remembered to check back in on this thread. Your set up looks just amazing! It honestly looks better than some of the pictures I've seen from friends who've been there.

Just finished it today. Though you cannot see it in the foreground due to the nighttime lighting, I used scale ship railing to simulate the handrails that keep pedestrians from falling into the Seine River. I wonder how successful that is.

Hope you like the shot.

That is some stunning work Charles. Thanks for sharing that!
