The diorama has been put on the backburner for now. A while back I found a nice miniature copper diving helmet for my home bar. I was just going to put it on the shelf and then I got inspired by the posts of tikiskip to turn the helmet into a small hanging lamp or maybe a table lamp. The first part of the process will be to age the copper to a nice patina. The wiring will be the easy part. I will post some pics of how it turns out.
