ACW - The Sentinels (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Its been since before the holidays that I have posted anything new. Yesterday I received a JG Miniatures #JGS01 Large Oak Tree and thought I would play around with it. This is my second one of this great scenic piece -As you can see they can add a dramatic effect to any set up. I call this series of photos . . . . . .

THE SENTINELS​

The Sentinels . . . perhaps the watchful Union Color Guard waiting for orders, or perhaps the old stately oak trees that have provided shade and comfort for the unseen troops resting under their protective boughs? ​

Also featured in these photos are: Wm Britian #DISP10 "The Chosen Ground" display base w/backdrop, Hudson & Allen #HA2005 "Small Bushes w/Earth Base", Hudson & Allen #HA2012 "Stone and Wooden Split Rail Zig Zag Fence Sections", Old Northwest Trading Company #ACW-014 "American Civil War Camp Accessories", Conte Drummer Boy from set #57161, Wm Britain #17928 "Union Infantry Flag Bearer", and Old Northwest Trading Company "Union Guard" from set #IOW-1001

Mike,

Very nice dio. It is great to see so many different manufacturers pieces together in one display. They work well together. Your photography skills are excellent.

More excellent set ups Mike. The JG Oak trees will really come in handy when composing new scenes, good addition to your growing collection. By the way, I am building a display for a collector using the ONWTC winter quarters and would recommend them to other collectors too.

Talk to you soon,
Ken

Its almost like you are reading my mind Ken. Several times yesterday I thought of "pulling the trigger" to place an order for the ONTC tented cabins and other camp scene sets with the thought of having you design a diorama around them for me - I'll give you a call soon . . .

Beautiful shots Mike, well done...

Excellent scene

Thank you Rod and Mitch
