Spent some time this morning working on the base for my Cattle Drive shelf display. I have one more section almost ready to install but it needs to be trimmed to fit first. I'm still working on ideas for a backdrop.

Nice one Mike. I like that wagon.

Great scene, K & C and JJD have started to bring out some great sets that could be seen as non-military. With this range, Egyptian, the settlers, Gold Rush, Christmas, Chinese range and probably others i have missed. Would not include the 'naughty females' in this, no matter the manufacturer, those just do not do it for me.

Had another look at 'grub up' time, made me smile as it made me think of the scene below,

Thanks Gents. Anymore I'm drawn to collect the non-military sets that are now being offered. Sets like these as well as K&C's Discovering Tutankhamun and TGM Professor Jones are among my favorite ranges.

Very nice ground work Mike . Now it's starting to look like a diorama. Paul

Mike, this might give some ideas for backdrops, my two shelves are set as permanent and I have two I think model train posters, that I use for a floor display. Robin.

THX Paul. It's a good start but still a long way from finished.

Thank you for the great ideas Robin. I've pretty much decided that my shelf display will be an open range/prairie vignette. As such I've been looking for an ideal picture on All Posters.com to find something suitable. I've found a few that would work but nothing so far that has really sold me. I'll have to check out some backdrops available to model railroaders.

Very attractive display Mike...like a scene out of Rawhide...Andy needs to make a Rowdy Yates figure...

 

[paxtoysoldier]

Mike Miller: love Rawhide! even the Blues Bros version...
Mike Estell: love your scene even better.
Lets see some more! Barkmann points out that this is one of the great K&C "civilian" or "peaceful" scenes.
Dad & I wish we could collect this one. Best Wishes and Happy Trails to you.

Looking good, Mike. Will look even better with that backdrop.
