We have to keep to a pretty tight schedule to make the mid year collectors dinner. We will have three tables to cover Waterloo - Hougoument on one table, the French cavalry attacking the British squares on the one in the photograph and the approach of the Prussians on a third, smaller table. Most of the figures will be K&C which is nice for me because it was these figures which were my earliest purchases.
We then have to consider a Gallipoli diorama, finish the Western Front diorama, change the WW1 airfield to a Battle of Britain aerodrome and then move the ALH to make way for K&C's North Africa range. Mark (Mark IV) has kindly made his extensive collection available so we have that covered. Wayne has been busy making a range of buildings so Hougoument is going to be spectacular. We also have to organise this year's publication which will be bigger and better again so busy days ahead.

Unbelievable detail, especially considering the scale of the buildings. Wow!

Today water was added to the canal on the Great War dio..................
Wayne.
I was very impressed with the job Wayne and Bob did with the water. There is something about water in a diorama that just adds that certain something. Add a plane to that water and you are in business. It gives me hope that the Dambusters diorama is not a pipe dream.
