Though it would be time to post a quick update on the new WWII diorama using pieces from the old diorama. Deconstruction of the bridges, train yard, dock area and the S Boat (don't worry, the boat is intact, just in storage) is complete. Finished the wiring schematic for the trains, lights...

These are sold.

Very nice scenario, also really like these civilian figures from WB. Thx Chris

The fence, corn, backdrop and log are Britains. I actually made the trees from scratch before Britains released their trees. Thx Chris

I hesitated myself but once I got them, these are very well done. Thx Chris

Honestly, it is hard taking it apart, a lot of effort went into the first version. Some of it will not work in the new layout as well so those elements will be either stored or disposed. Thx

I have 2 War Park Boxcars AX030 that I will not need in the new layout. There are no boxes for them. I am asking $150 each and would like to limit the sale to the lower 48 states. Let me know if there is any interest. Thx Chris

Got these Berdan's sharpshooters from WB and put them on a vignette board. I did not know if I was going to like these when I ordered them but now these are some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy the vignette. I needed a break from tearing apart the WW2 diorama. Thx Chris

Well, a quick update, deconstruction of the old WW2 diorama continues. I need to speed it up since we cannot use the kitchen table with the bridgehead on it. The bridgehead is 42 inches across and almost 40 inches high. The plan is to deconstruct the old layout, increase the length of the...

Began working on a permanent WW2 diorama using pieces from my old WW2 German city diorama and some new elements. This one is going to take some time getting done but I have almost all of the pieces on hand to make it happen. One of the challenges is taking apart the old diorama and expanding...

As I was putting away the Imperial Guard figures and saving the images from the diorama, I ran across this image of the Grenadiers clearing a house in Plancenoit that I did not post as well as some "colored" images of Waterloo Imperial Guard veteran images taken in the 1850's in their old...

Great images and very inspiring. Thx for sharing. Chris

Great scene, looks so "life like". Chris

Great scene. Chris

Agree on the use of casualties, I tried a number of ways to hide the casualty figures with the bases and just gave up after a while and took them out. The church was illuminated with a few LED lights and crinkled up aluminum foil to give that blaze look. Thx Chris

The church is a 3D printed version that I got with the help of George at Minutemen Toy Soldiers. The version I got from them was printed and painted by them. I did add a few final details. I was actually very surprised how well the church turned out. This is the 4th or 5th building I got...

The Old Guard Grenadiers, outnumbered almost 5 to 1, continuously fought to hold off the Prussian advance for the next 30 minutes. The intense fighting cost both the Grenadiers and Prussians severely. The Grenadiers would fall back to a last line of defense in St. Catherine’s Catholic church in...

The British 43rd Regiment of Foot has one of the more complete set of poses of an AWI regiment in the act of firing. These are great and love the image of the diorama with the battle line. Chris

Great image

This image actually feels cold to me.
