The Challenger disaster was STS-51-L; the explosion occurred before SRB separation, not after.

Indeed! And I would never ever try and build STS-51L. Way too sensitive.

Sure, you are totally right about the timing, I was just remembering the two solids flying off on their own, and still not fully realizing what had just happened because it was close to the sep time when I wrote my response.
As for capturing the moment, I would say dioramas are often trying to capture a moment in time, some times that's an ordinary moment, other times it's a critical or tragic moment, so I dont think it would have been off limits for your diorama.

Either way nice work.

Thanks, PaperBender! It just would not have been my choice of diorama. This mission stood out for me also because of the first Dutch astronaut. I am dutch as well.
