Thanks for the kind words!

The layers from the front going backwards are...

1. Foliage
2. A wood divider board that works as a light shield (it blocks the lights from shining forward)
3. Soft White LED lights
4. Diamond Head/Ocean painting
5. Frosted glass w/clouds painted on back side
6. Currently I have a C9 type of light bulb casting the orange glow here... I'm not sure that this will be the final light here. I want to get a little more "sunset" out of the light in this layer.
7. Wall painted light blue

The result looks good in person, but I need to figure out a couple tweaks to contain the LED lights in certain areas without blocking them in other areas.

The problem areas are...

1. The glass on the right/middle area. In the pic you can see it messing up the sunset with a blue glow.
2. The ceiling above the diorama. The LEDs cast a bright glow up at the top of the wall. It tends to fade when I have my lamps on, but you can still see it.
