I paint a lot of Murals in my job and I worked on the restoration of a 1939 Diorama of Mission Dolores in San Francisco in the 90's. It was originally at the 1939 Treasure island worlds fair and stored in a basement for many years. It had water damage and the rats had chewed up the Pomo Indian population. We re-made them with Super Sculpey and did a lot of tree and landscape repair. I had to bring Godzillia for a photo-op of course. The Diorama is now installed at the Mission Dolores and only has a few spider visitors now.
