They get better and better. Can't wait to check out your website.

Thanks Alex, it is always an exceptional complement when it comes from a man of your talent. The Web Site was long over due, and hopefully it will be another entertaining stop for our friends here on the Forum, when they are all talked out, and just want to relax and enjoy.....The other Alex

Those building facades are amazing.

Fantastic. Speaking of buildings, does anyone know the building on the K&C website that is being shown with the new WWI set? Looks like it may be from an older line. Thanks

Louis, those buildings are not facades, they are done by Hobby Bunker.

Jim,

That's a custom made building recently made by Gordon Neilson, which was displayed at the West Coaster and at the Symposium in March.

George those fences came out around x-mas a couple of years ago and came with a battery pack and light up, I think they were by lex mark or something like that. I have a set also.http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/showthread.php?t=770&highlight=diorama+cheap

How long ago ?? - we have Michaels here in DC.....

 

[Alexdakar]

You'll have to get them during Xmas time so your best bet will be ebay but there are some online stores that sell Lemax and Dept 56 stuff all year round.

 

[Jim5615]

Thanks Louis. That is a fine piece of work.

 

[Capitolron]

Who has the most Opel Blitz's ??

Lets see some convoys

 

[Firebat]

Sorry I didn't comment sooner. I have been away at work for my 24 hour shift, which was a nightmare because of the storm that came through......

Anyway.... The fencing is Lexmark Christmas stuff, which I weathered, and they are battery powered. The Buildings are Hobby Bunker, which come painted or unpainted. The ones in the Scene I painted and weathered. We will kick off our Web Site Tomorrow with the full pic of this diorama on our web site. I can't say enough about the Hobby Bunker Buildings they are Big, Detailed and inexpensive. Also the ME262 is by Dragon and is 1/72 scale. Alex

 

[Jim5615]

I think you mean Lemax ....

 

[Firebat]

LEMAX it is.............Thanks

Nice Job Alex,

I'm not a big fan of special effects photograph but your shots keep improving dramatically.
