Many thanks for those flickr members who have been supporting and following my construction progress on this diorama. Particularly Richard Wong who provided me the drawings of the old Wan Chai Fire Station, so that I could use it as a reference to create my AutoCAD plans for this model.

My finished 1:150 scale diorama model titled:
'In the roaring traffic's boom'.
Location based on the Junction of Wan Chai Fire Station & Canal Road Flyover, Hong Kong (Scene based in August 2014). The overall size of the model is a bit less than A4 paper size. My concept of making this diorama began 3 years ago, I did some research on a few locations in HK, and found out that the Junction of Wan Chai Fire Station & Canal Flyover is a very unique idea for a diorama, because:
1). It is rare to see a diorama actually based on a city's street scene at its present day condition.
2). The fire station is one of the oldest buildings in Wan Chai, more than half a century old. And fire stations always considered as unique buildings. Therefore, great to be involved in a diorama.
3). This is one of the few places in HK that a flyover crosses the tram route, and the only place that a tram stop situated under a flyover.
4). HK is famous for its double-decker tram, it is the only tram system in the world operated exclusively with double-decker trams. Therefore, having an iconic HK element will create interest to the diorama.
5). There is a community building below the Canal Rd Flyover. It is rare to find a building below the space of a flyover in HK.
6). It is rare to see diroama comprises of a flyover. A flyover is not only unique to be presented in a diorama, it also gives a layering verticality to the model, creating multiple focal points and viewing enjoyment.
7). And finally.... Who doesn't know this place anyway? It is a great idea to make a diorama of a place that everyone knew and experienced.
