Very nice Martyn . . . . I have always appreciated the "art of war" sets that enable collectors to use their TS to create a three deminsional diorama of a known period painting or photograph.

Glad you enjoyed that little pun!

Did Mike make the figures and balloon for you? Really something different.

Martyn...the balloon is a really nice find...

how is it intended to be diplayed?

does the basket just sit on the ground...

or

is it suspended in mid air with a string or something...

either way...it's a visual delight

I have the balloon suspended from a small hook I have carefully :wink2:, screwed into the ceiling in my "den". I have tied several knots/loops into the string which allows me to have the balloon at various heights from ground level to the ceiling itself
