I Want to Believe
This model is a bit of a love poem to the X-Files. It started as a diorama in the theme of the poster that hangs in Mulder's office... and the more I built, the more I found ways to fill the fairly simple forest landscape with references to my favorite episodes.
This model is not meant to show one specific scene in the show. Rather, the scene depicted is a nostalgic compilation of various moments and characters in the series.
Mulder is finally seeing his proof that aliens exist and is delighted. Scully is facing the other direction and misses it entirely, as per usual. Comically frustrating.

- alien spaceship
- alien in the woods

- generic rental car
- the X paint w/line from time loss
- sunflower seeds where Mulder was snacking
- Glowing bugs up in the tree
- Scully is holding a copy of Moby Brick (her relationship with her father and Mulder's hunt for his white whale).
- the mushroom field where Mulder and Scully had a nice trip.
- Smoking man is behind everything
