Very nicely done . . . I really like the beaver **** and beaver lodge . . . Certainly a great display for your Fur Trade figures.

Not sure what to expect from the title, but certainly a pleasant surprise. These look really good. Robin.

The diorama looks terrific!:salute:: You might want to consider adding some Hudson & Allen forest floor debris (basically tiny fallen leaves) to really give it an autumn feeling.

Love the colors! Beautiful dio.

 

[Footman]

Brilliant mate this is an awesome series.

Beautiful colors and the only beaver dam I've ever seen in a dio is great. Terrific scene. Chris

Steve, Louis

Assuming you want scale detail you can make your own with these Die cutters

They do other leaf shapes die's too e.g. Maple leaf

Great diorama by the way Steve ! :salute::

Thanks Steve and Louis for the compliment and the tip. I had 'crunched up" some real leaves with a grinder but I thought real leaves at the bottom of look a like leaves in the tree would look "odd." However, I have not tried it. I love the real shapes. Maybe bare trees with a few leaves and the rest on the ground would work. Thank you again for the tip.

Mmm, yes I see what you mean. Perhaps not for this dio then, but there's always others ! :salute::

Steve,

Man, this is fabulous!! The whole set up is well done and the fall colors really make things pop!

As the others have commented already, the beaver dams are quite an ingenious idea and very appropriate given the fur trade and how beaver pelts would have played a big part in that.

Are the trees from JG Miniatures?

Great work and thanks for sharing!!

Mark, thank you very much. I was very excited to build the beaver dam and lodge. The trees are sage brush and I added the foliage from Woodland Scenics.
