“Meanwhile Back On The Backlot..." (2 Viewers)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

As many of you know both Gordon and myself love movies…and in a way every diorama we produce is a little bit like a miniature movie set.

Back in the “Golden Age of Hollywood” every major studio had its backlot where they could convert a “Mexican Street” into an Arab Alley somewhere in “Casablanca”…A “French Chateau” could, with a change of costume and a few good props suddenly reappear as a “Scottish Laird’s Castle”.

Well we like to have a little fun with our “backlot buildings” as well. So here’s the first set up of the “Fortified Manor House” – Enjoy…

All the best,

Andy C. & Gordon C.​

That building may be one of the best I've ever seen. Is it destined for Chicago?

Always looks better when you do figures on mass. This usually supplies the 'wow' factor, even though this already existed with the stand alone building. Something for all of us to aspire to achieving. Robin.

Maybe the blokes in mass with the green stands are plastics.

I think the figures in the back are glossy American Rev.

Exactly what I think, the artistry involved is second to none. Looks fantastic with the figures mate, thanks for posting Andy.

Andy, I knew you and Gordon had to have a play with that building! It looks awesome with the figures and now I would love to see it with some WW2 Jerries, Brit's and Yanks! {sm3}

This may be one of the all time favorites here ! Looks Terrific with the Red Coats and I would Imagine anything from WWI / WWII / other era's would be impressive
and work as well !
