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.
