Mike, yes, I got the house from Ken and it is amazing. It is a twin to the one you have in your collection. He said there were 2 originally built but they may have built others since these 2 were done. My challenge has been furniture which matches the detail and quality of the house. So far...

Great job mirrors the scene in the painting very well. Chris

The 7th Ohio would return to Cleveland to muster out on Sunday, June 26th, 1864, via a special train that traveled direct from Cincinnati. Ohio to Cleveland. Governor Brough had addressed the regiment upon arrival, the governor called them “Ohio’s Spartans” and closed the speech with this “no...

I sent Ted an email with images last night right after posting on the forum once I confirmed everything about the positioning of the block. I am sure either Ted or Chris will respond quickly. Chris

Jake, great job and really appreciate the step-by-step process description as well. I am definitely taking notes. Chris

This is a great scene and looks so real. Great job. Chris

Again, appreciate the kind comments. I always enjoyed telling a story with the dioramas I build as well as making them as accurate as possible. Thx Chris

Thanks everyone, getting these images to turn out the way I wanted was a lot harder than I thought. I took almost 75 images just to get one I wanted. Glad it paid off in the end. I have a few more dioramas planned with this type of view in mind. I really like them as they seem to make the...

Very well done. The WB civilian figures provide a lot of possibilities.

Just a few thoughts. Has anyone talked to Ted or Chris at WB on this? I have not opened up the box with my M10 yet but will check out the breech block when I do. Looking at the pictures of the block of the WB M10, the block looks like the breech block is upside down and mounted on top of the...

Worked on updating this diorama as one of my permanent displays and was lucky enough to get a few Hudson and Allen buildings to use as a backdrop. This is the only diorama I have ever done that does not include any military figures but shows an important part of the miliary story. The part of...

Could not agree more, Rick Reeves is another artist that some good ACW themed art. Chris

Really like this image that Kieth did, may use it in a future diorama. Chris

This is a second diorama of the battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg, that I call the “The Last 30 Yards”. It is the morning of September 17th, 1862 in an area of the Miller farm that will be ever known as just The Cornfield. The 1st Texas entered the Cornfield pursuing Federal troops with 226 men...

In recognition of the 163rd anniversary of the battle 2 days ago, this is a diorama I did on the battle of Antietam. It concerns Battery B of the 4th US artillery. This battery of six bronze 12 pounder Napoleon Model 1857 cannons was used to support the Iron Brigade at the battle of Antietam...

This is an update to the WW2 German City diorama project. I started to add figures and vehicles. Was a more challenging activity then I originally planned. Had to balance the details in the diorama with the placement of the figures and vehicles. I ended up with a number of scenarios within...

Glad to hear you love model trains as well. I have seen a few custom early locomotives in the 1/30 or 1/32 scale but none of them were ACW period. I have seen a few French National Railways trains in the right scale but not very many. Whenever you are ready, let me know and I can give you...

Looking for ACE-16 and ACE-26. US WW1 Knights of the Sky series. Let me know. Thx Chris

Took some time off to do the ACW diorama and to enjoy the holiday weekend. Now back to the WW2 diorama. The second streetcar, political locomotive and gondola car arrived. I also started to unbox and get all of the figures and some vehicles on the table. I originally was going to use this...

Thank you all, really liked doing this one. This is my first diorama of ACW cavalry and caused me to do some additional research on cavalry in general and more specifically on the "first shot" and 8th Ill. Cav. I spent a lot of time trying to understand the major evolutions in Poinsett's...
