Britain's American Civil War (7 Viewers)

[mestell]

Recently a number of threads have been started where forum members have shared images of their Wm. Britain ACW collection. I thought perhaps instead of several ACW threads why not just have one dedicated to this WB range. Having a single thread for Britain's Zulu War has been very successful, why not one for the War Between the States? So here is my invitation to all of you WB Civil War collectors . . . . . . . .

You have a very nice looking collection Lenswerks. I like the way you have arranged both shelves. I noticed in the upper picture that you are lucky to have WB set #17631 Confederate Wounded w/Drummer Boy. That's one set I want to add to my collection that's been eluding me.

Great to see you ACW buffs strutting your stuff.
Along with Reb's great dioramas and all this new stuff my slightly dormant interest in the War to Preserve the Union is being rekindled.

An excellent idea Mike, and you never know I may add a few CW pieces to my Britains collection.

Mike another source for WB is The History Store New Hampshire. Most all of my WB comes from them - http://www.greathistorygifts.com/showitemlist.asp?category=271

Any significance to the number of items on each shelf?!?

None whatsoever other than to give viewers an idea of what’s contained in the scene.

Found some time to play tonight. Still arranging my farm stead trying to come up with what I think is this best overall arragement. Here are some pictures of what I did tonight.
Mike

The rebels suddenly swarmed down the road and out of the farm yard like a hive of angry gray clad hornets

Observing the assault

Advancing the colors

Rear rank load! Front rank fire!

Feeling the sting of lead hornets

Very nicely done Mike and your pictures show what you've got in mind but got a hunch they'll be changes made as you add figures to your ACW collection.,,,,The Lt.

How about having in the 'dioramas' section a heading for each main historical range, then people can load their pictures under the appropriate heading and it would be easier to look at other displays and dioramas that you are particularly interested in:

For Example;

WWII
WWI
Zulu
Napoleonic Wars
ACW
American Revolution
etc

You could always put sub headings under the main heading for the bigger ranges like WWII?

Just a thought!

ps - that display looks awesome!

That might make it a bit more difficult to keep track of since you would have to check under all the subheading or additional headings. I think posting under the manufacturer with a dio thread heading is still the best way.
