Conte Scenic Bases (1 Viewer)

[Napoleon1er]

Does anyone have a list/pictures of the different Normandy diorama pieces Conte made? Aside from the cathedral and accompanying priory, I recall having seen some street pieces, a barn, and a gate with an outbuilding, but I can't find pictures let alone pieces for sale. Any information on what these sets were and how to get them?
Thanks!

I copied these pictures from an e-bay auction: the 2 story house, the corner house, the farm house and the red corner. I know seven D-Day playsets exist too but I don't have pictures.

There is a set that has hedge rows and one that had some pill boxes and one nice size concrete gun emplacement. If you are interested in these, send me a PM with an email and I will send you photos. I am looking to sell these from my collection.

Thanks,

Matthew

Richard made some nice buildings...

Ken Osen may have done these...

Ebay has been a good source
for the Conte WW2 playsets.
During the last year, I have bought
three of them at reasonable prices.

Good Luck

Fairly sure Ken Olsen was contracted by Richard Conte at the time. Robin.

What is the material used in the manufacturing? A foam or resin or something else?

 

[RISORGIMENTO]

I have WAY too much stuff salted away in the basement and need to get rid of some of some extras. I have two Conte "dragon's teeth" obstacles (one is the "damaged" version) and an extra barn with courtyard base. I would be willing to sell the "dragon's teeth" for $30 each and the barn for $50.00. These [rices do NOT include postage and these might need a pretty fair sized box for shipping. There is also a haystack, but it needs repair as the original center post broke, I can fix that with a piece of dowel. I also have the two-piece bridge and the farm house, but I have diorama plans for both of them.

Yes I did make these. The church was the most fun to do ...and the most difficult to manufacture.

You can see that these work well with my Hudson & Allen buildings and walls.

I thought the walls and gables looked familiar....
