Very nice diorama, Dragoon! Did you customize the figures yourself or order them? If you did the work yourself, then well done! I like to see more people rework and paint figures themselves.

Prost!

Thanks Brad, - Yes, I will take a brush to figures and also add beards and moustaches with epoxy putty to add some variety. I've made a living as an artist, so I'm quite comfortable with a brush in hand. - Ken

Ken,

I love your use of the JJD 14th Brooklyn figures! Here is my interpretation of the same theme, with all of the 14th Brooklyn and 39th New York figures on a Ken Osen Hudson & Allen diorama:

That's an excellent set up Louis.

 

[Louis Badolato]

That's an excellent set up Louis.

Thank you! The diorama is by Ken Osen (Hudson & Allen), the figures in the foreground are all of the JJD 14th Brooklyn and 39th New York, and the figures in the background are castings painted by our very talented friend John O'Brien (Obee).

Mark,

The credit all belongs to Ken, I just positioned the figures on it. He taught my son how to do the groundwork at his workshop at the Britain's Symposium he holds annually in Gettysburg, and now my son is better at diorama building than I ever was.

Ken certainly has talent, and it's awesome your son is in the hobby. I find diorama building rewarding and I'm sure your son does too. It's a great hobby.

I consider myself very lucky that my son enjoys the same interests and hobbies that I do.
