Casa de Pancho Villa (1 Viewer)

It did not take Pancho Villa long to create a small band of loyal men to join his revolutionary movement. They gathered outside his simple yet well-guarded compound while others would come from long distance to partake in Meeting Pancho Villa.

The new releases are working well Rob. The windmill is also a nice addition. Robin.

Thanks Robin. Thought the windmill would work with some of these western scenes.

Appreciate it Steve, far from Bent Forks, but plenty of spring water in the area.^&grin

Thanks much GH.

Thank you Jason. Broke out a few of the desert village buildings for old Mexico. As many have mentioned, would love to see Andy/K&C produce the Cantina and western buildings.
The sepia image is sort of how I envision the diorama. :wink2:

Looks great Rob

Thanks Duke, having a lot of fun with these new figures. More planned.

Interesting use of the middle eastern building… I’ve never seen a traditional Mexican-style building like that and I live in a part of the world that was part of Mexico until the 1840s, lol!

One of the great appeals of this hobby is that collectors can employ their ingenuity and creativity to have FUN and make really interesting scenes.
Keep ‘em coming!
All the best,
Andy.

You know it Andy!

Me too, TMan, 1848 to be exact. I did some research on the cupola discovering that its use in Mexican architecture was a "gift from Spain" derived from the Moors. I've seen pictures of a few Spanish missions in the Southwest with standard cupolas and larger churches and cathedrals with more elaborate cupolas. Houses not so much. Flat roofs are simply more economical and in arid climates, no need to worry about strong rainstorms; so probably why the preponderance in the Southwest.
In any case, it's always interesting to learn more about history, esp. from our shared hobby; and as Andy mentioned, fun to use the pieces in one's collections to create interesting scenes. While I would love a flat-roofed Cantina-style building, we work with what we have. Thanks for weighing in.
