Thanks. The Grant is shot against a British September sky.

The three HB panther A's are just realistic. I love 'em.

I ended up selling mine. Sometimes it seems like to a good decision (got good prices) and sometimes not!

This photo is incredible. :salute:::salute:::salute:::salute:::salute::

Very realistic looking and intimidating to the enemy

I can hear the metallic sound of the tracks moving and the engine running

Kevin just lay a K&C custom Streets of Old Hong Kong base down adjacent to my neighbor’s pond, placed a K&C wooden German Floatplane and Kriegsmarine figure on it, and snapped some shots under natural summer sunlight. Brilliant!

Louis and had a lot of fun ..... sorry .... I mean .... he had me working 25 hours a day, labouring, knitting jumpers, cooking, designing nuclear powerplants, taking pictures, carrying models, filing patent suits, walking four huskies 20 miles six times a day and made me sleep in a hole in the ground, covered by an old paper bag.

My Dad used to joke about walking both ways, up hill in the snow to school.

One day I looked at him and said, “Wait a minute, you couldn’t do that... there’s no snow in Mississippi!”

Hi Randy, glad you liked it. Took up your advice on a book, did a handful of picture books with some history questions for nephews and a couple of friends kids, spread over the past few years, it did get the kids interested.

In my dreams will finish a Bulge dio-drama book and maybe Arnhem. (Some sleep would help - I'm resting like my Norwegian Blue)

One in a Million?

When I first started out, this thread was an inspiration and this is before you think of all the other threads it inspired as well. The dioramas that Carlos started this off with (and the amazing contributions over the years from a whole host of people - I dare not mention anyone because I would surely miss someone out) were superb and showed all of us collections you would never own yourself or see a way of displaying them or photographing them that you may never have thought of.

This thread has so far nearly 650,000 hits. What about keeping it going at least until it has at least 1,000,000 hits - has anyone ever done that? What do you think?

The best thing about it IMO is that it is nobody's and everybody's. Lots of people have contributed, so many different periods, styles and settings have been displayed. Many different collections from all over the world have featured.

Years ago, this was the first place I would look on the forum. There were far fewer threads then, it seems to me. I would guess there are many parts of this vibrant forum I don't know even exist. I even found a thread where Louis had some great photos posted about toy soldiers I had never heard of or seen before! I wonder what other masterpieces I am missing?

Perhaps we could encourage more people to contribute further? Perhaps we could steer newcomers this way? I am guilty of starting other threads of dioramas pictures, but what if regular contributors slip the odd photo or three in here as well? New viewers would maybe look at their threads as well if they found them interesting?

Is a million possible or even worth a try?

(I'll have a lie down now.)

modified early polystone K&C StuH

K&C UK British Sherman 105mm

Britains half track, HJB and K&C grenadiers

Very rare wood K&C half track and other AFV's, with K&C buildings (early and rare). I have shown this on the K&C photo thread before.
