Adding two figures to circa 1866 USA diorama (1 Viewer)

[Iron Brigade]

I just recently added two "The Real West" (TRW) figures to my diorama (30 inches by 10 inches) of circa 1866 U.S. Army 4th Cavalry Vs Comanche Indians, namely K&C sets TRW007 and TRW013. At the price of $31.00 per foot figure they do not seem so expensive vs the current new foot figures by K&C that are between $42.00 and $45.00!

Photo #1 is an overview of the diorama. The extra TRW007 "Warrior running with a knife & shield" is shown on photo#2, left side of diorama, is attacking a trooper who is a sergeant firing a revolver. Set# TRW013 is an U.S. Army Scout with buckskin coat is shown in photo #3 who has been added to the right side of the diorama firing his carbine up at the warrior with bow & arrow on the rock. U.S. Army troopers are from K&C's American Civil War series. The 4th Cavalry were transferred to Western Texas in Novenber 1865. Please see #3 photos below. "Iron Brigade" / Gary

Dear Brad:

Thanks for your comments! The diorama backdrop I got at the 2012 Old Toy Soldier Show near Chicago from Traverse Dioramics out of Elgin, IL. The owner Dave is a member at the Forum under "Dave@Traverse". I later got a 2nd diorama backdrop for another diorama from Traverse via Treefrog Treasures. The backdrop really sets off the diorama I think.

I agree with Brad, I like that backdrop as well:salute::I think we spoke about the backdrop last year and I mentioned how I wished it had been on sale at the last London Show

Cheers

Gary,

I have one of the Traverse backdrops and they're pretty nice and relatively affordable, $35. The one you used is particularly nice and as I just ordered a few more of The West figures from Minuteman, I may order this one from Treefrog.
