I will try this on a different thread from my standard trees for clarity. For all of the Battle of the Bulge, Stalingrad, retreat from Russia, Dickens Christmas or any other winter scene dioramas, I have some snow covered pine trees for sale. I was going to use these in a diorama of Stones...

Just wanted to share a view pictures of a diorama that I have been building using the recent ACW sets. I was inspired by Mike and Chris's diorama to create a version of the widow Lydia Leister's farmhouse as it was on July 2nd. I have also included some of the recently released sets to create...
