Crusades - New Dioramas (1 Viewer)

[Capitolron]

Here you go guys - the latest redeployment of my K&C Crusaders in the new diorama displays in my living room. All a part of the new positioning phase of the Phillips Collection.

Sorry about the photos not being so great - this was a quick snap and post operation

Did you notice the Dept 56 Rug Merchant trying to sell some rugs in the battle ?

Wow Ron great dio. Did you buy one of everything ? LOL

 

[bromhead]

Well done as ever,,thanks for the photos,,thought I noticed a feather merchant in there also.

Great looking dio Ron. I am glad to see that you could use the Dept. 56 Rug Merchant's Colonade you bought from me. I just purchased a Dept. 56 Caravansary Wall set and the Caravansary Gate. I have from 12/24 until 1/5 off from work - during this time I plan to make a Crusader dio using these pieces as an "ancient" ruins backdrop for a desert skirmish. The Dept 56 Bethlehem Village items work fantastically well with K&C figures. They are always a great addition to any AK or Crusader dio. Once again, very nicely done.

Special bargain, just for you, cheap! cheap! Special prices for Templars! Not a Templar, a Hospitalar? Special prices for Hospitalars!

Diorama?? Well Ron! Nice setup - but to call it a diorama ......

Anyway - great to see a fellow-crusader-collector with lot of energy! Keep up the good work!

Wow Ron great dio. Did you buy one of everything ? LOL

He bought at least 2 ladders!

Looks great just like all the other photos of your collection that you have shared with us.

Very nice diorama, Ron. You have a nice size Medieval collection. Where did you get the camel?

 

[Capitolron]

Thanks guys for all the kind comments.

I really have a great collection of Crusaders due to my wife bought me most of them as a Christmas present last year. I still have a few of those new releases from K&C that I haven't got as of yet. My fingers are crossed for this year's Christmas present.

I know the space is a little tight - but, that is the problem with a growing K&C Collection and a Capitol Hill Townhouse !

I will post some pics of other dioramas/display as I restructure my space in the coming weeks.

Very nice diorama, Ron. You have a nice size Medieval collection. Where did you get the camel?

Toy Soldier Show in Gettysburg - the Camel with Guy is from the King & Country Silk Road Range. Here is another close up.

What is the Silk Road Range? Never heard of it.

 

[Capitolron]

Louis is the guy that probally can give you all the details - but, the range was started in the 90's and was retired. It was not a very big range - lots of great items in it like the Elephant ! - that item is very RARE !!

What is the Silk Road Range? Never heard of it.

Bill Sager's website has the Silk Road range listed under "Historic Oriental" I think. There are around 10 or so items listed there including this guy. Also there is one on Ebay right now. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info MD. I always like Bill's web site as a reource for reference purposes. Just finished looking at the Silk Road pieces. SR005 Silk Road Gate House is fantastic looking. Wish I had one. It would make an excellent backdrop for a desert dio. The camel is nice too. I am hoping that 2009 will bring some K&C camel mounted Crusader figures.

Very nice collection Ron. Wow, your wife gave you all those? Maybe she could talk to my wife? I love the rug sale part BTW.
