but his constructions (Definitions 3.3 and 5.2) have a fixed category at each object of $R$ and only the model structures are allowed to vary.
As a side note, a particular instance of this construction is used in these new notes about global homotopy theory, but here the indexing category is not even a Reedy category, but some sort of "enriched generalized Reedy category".
