ACW - General Meade's HQ (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Hot, very humid, with high heat index here. Its a good day to stay inside and keep cool. "Played" a bit with my dio table, rearranging the WB Lydia Leister's farm house so that the front porch fronts the farm yard instead of on the road frontage where I have had it since reciving it. I believe I like this arrangement better. I'll be ready for the soon to be released #31192 "Hold This Ground" set with Meade sitting at a table with staff. Here are a few photos taken this morning showing Major Gen George Gordon Meade with Generals Buford and Hancock. Towards the back of the farm yard is an aid station.
:smile2: Mike








Here is a stock photo of set #31192 which will be perfect set up in fromt of the porch. I also plan to add #31173 Gen Dan Sickles and #31174 Gen W. G. Warren to the scene creating a good size staff gathering.

The crapper is to close to the house {eek3}. I'm hopping Hudson & Allen will still be producing the white picket fence.

Thank you very much Rob, glad you enjoyed the scenes. The groundwork was created for me by Ken & Ericka Osen.

Its funny you mentioned the proximity of the outhouse, Paul . . . . I was thinking the same thing this morning, but more so in relation to where the well is. Must be 19th Century sanitation or the lack there of . . . . then again its probably due to size limitations of my dio base :wink2:. I know Ken has mentioned the appearance of white picket fencing sometime in the future. That really would be outstanding. However, the fencing on my dio table is permanently mounted to the base which might be problematic if I decided to change it out.

Be careful and stay well, George. This heat is terrible. I have hermetically sealed myself into my apartment with the AC set at 68. To heck with the electric bill. No one gets in or out once the sun is up. Find the AC vents and camp under one. Have a safe convention. -- Al

Good looking scene !

Wonderful depiction Mike! I think you captured the scene very well. Like you, I eagerly await the release of the Meade command group. Chris

this set looks great Mike...one of their best to date...and you display them so nicely!

 

[OzDigger]

An attractive and realistic display, I have yet to return to diorama style displays for my collection, but such threads are making me think about changing back.
