Bored Tonight...Post a Diorama, LOL (4 Viewers)

[Horus]

Nothing to see here

Bit sad when that comes about, and I think it will, just depends on how rapidly.
Everything changes, and I guess, most of us have mixed feelings about change and the older we get, the less we like it !

John's diorama 210 Years Ago on the K&C threads, reminded me of some dioramas I had done a few years ago and so, "Quatre Bras".....

I'm so glad to have provided the impetus for you to show us your Battle diorama today, it now 18th June here in Aus.

I love the camera angles show from both sides of the line, and the arial shots showing the Bristish Squares and the galloping French Cuirassiers trying to breech the 'Thin Red Line'.

The Fire Support provided by the Royal Artillery really puts the 'icing on the cake' for me

Well done

John

Steve, I think these must be amongst the most effective shots I have seen on here, top draw.

Steve, to clarify my 'Nothing to see here' post. I gave up trying to work out how to complete an earlier post using the Quote Reply options, I decided to just make another post and left 'Nothing to see here' as my attempt at comedy

Yes I did wonder what the heck you were saying !
Change you see ! Older we get less we like it !

Which is probably one of the reasons, many of us like collecting and displaying our Toy / Model Soldiers !

True, not many people actually like change or improvements, especially as we age. Toy Soldiers are a good 'constant' but even they are now very different from the original Glossy Toys Soldiers that people collected back in the day.

That said, you can't avoid new technology, I'm looking forward to receiving my new car in July, but I expect a steep learning curve for the new tech compared to my old car that has served me faithfully for many years.

That's a very special looking diorama Carlos. A display to be proud of for sure.

Hello Horus,

First off, amazing dioramas. Just fantastic.

Second, the title of the thread is "bored tonight, post a diorama". I think you went beyond that and decided, "bored tonight, started a full scale war"

Just kidding. As I said, amazing photos.

 

[GI_Jigsaw]

Kicking off the official start of summer with some chilly photos.

 

[mestell]

All very nice photos but I like the last one best. The white styrofoam works very well as a snow base.

Mike

 

[Horus]

Agree with Mike

Cheers Mike
Trust you are enjoying the change of scenery and breathing in all that Sea air !

Unfortunately these seem to be the only photos I still have from this time, I no longer have the photos of the French Lancers charging through the High wheat fields. But I'm sure if anyone is that interested, they will be able to find them in my previous Waterloo Campaign thread if they look back many years and thousands of posts !

We are sadly lacking in current photos of our big Napoleonic collection as well.
But what you have, Steve, is superb. First class. Enjoying it with Mike and Dad and everyone else on the Forum.
Glad to see something other than Rome from you. Still, please keep it all up.
