Adding set# NA192 to World War one diorama! (1 Viewer)

[Iron Brigade]

This Thread is a spin off from my new Thread of January 14, 2012 on my revised Napoleonic diorama.

On January 14, 2012 (USA time) I got a response from fellow Forum member "Glossman" / Raymond from the Republic of Singapore stating that he thought that the figure of K&C set NA192 would also look OK perhaps in a World War Two diorama relative to a farm scene.

My World War One diorama is based on a non-combat marching scene showing the German Army of August 1914 marching on to the front. So I tried placing (just temporary for photos) the K&C NA192 set from the Napoleonic period of history into the early WW1 non-combat diorama. I have to say that Raymond may be correct in that this NA192 "could" be used in later periods of history. The NA192 figure on my WW1 marching diorama "could" represent a French lady from a farm or nearby small village trying to sell some wine to the Germans or just trying to keep on their good side so as to avoid later problems with their occupation of her area of France. What you fellow members think? See 2 photos below.

Gary,

That is a very nice diorama! I've been meaning to get the Staffwagon. What is your opinion on the piece?

Gary, I think she works very nicely and compliments your scene well. Your marching Germans also look terrific{bravo}}

Great work , now if Andy would give us George V and the prince of Wales a Rolls staff car and some marching British or Aussie infantry or better still Billy Hughes that would be great.

Dear "RedBaron":

I like the big old "Kaiser Bill's Staffwagen" by K&C. According to actual photos from just before WW1 provided by other Forum members last year the model is rather realistic.

I think a French Lady, carrying wine would be welcome in any diorama

Well Done,

John

Hi Gary,

Thanks very much for giving my suggestion about NA192 a trial run in your WWI display. She appears to blend in quite nicely with the Kaiser's men. However, I think she looks more at home in your Napoleonic display. I think it is fun to do a bit of mix and match with figures now and then.

Best Wishes, Raymond.

Hello again Raymond:

Your suggestion of using the K&C set# NA192 Napoleonic era "Campfollower" in another more modern era got me to thinking about it. All my later periods of history that I have displays or dioramas of would not have been appropriate except for the WW1 marching on to Paris one which represents N.W. France in August/September 1914. I really think that the NA192 set lady did look OK in a period of history about 100 years later than she was intended for. However, I indeed have put K&C set NA192 back where she really belongs on my Napoleonic era diorama. Thanks for your comments again!

Best regards, Gary

Looks like she works well...
