In My Free Time: Dioramas and Stuff (1 Viewer)

[Napoleon1er]

Hi all,
I thought I would start a thread for any dioramas I make or pictures I have, kind of like Villagehorse and some other guys have. Hopefully I will be able to post more. My collection is growing, and I am running out of space. Here are some pictures of my TS room.

Oops the last 2 a little blurred. Good for you making a thread that is a permanent record of your collection. Always love viewing collections especially ones that I do not collect to see what I am missing out on. Yours is so colourful, I can see what the attraction is. Look forward to your regular updates, {bravo}}, Robin.

Sandor...your collection is really growing...you're gonna have to get a part-time job soon to keep up with it...beautiful stuff...are those H&A buildings?

Robin-
It's funny- I look at your thread for the very same reason- all the eras I don't collect, but to great use!
Mike-
Those are H&A buildings (except for a Figarti and some Britains ones). I bought them and one more in a bundle from someone here on the forum. My most recent count of my entire collection (my parents are divorced, so 1/4 of it is at my father's house) brings me to approximately 650 figures. I counted everything as one, including lone horses. My guess is around 575 Napoleonics. Most are Britains, a bunch JJD, some K&C, some FL, some TG, and a bunch of various stuff. I think I need to build some large shelves designed to hold the dioramas. I didn't show the 3 large dioramas on the bed.

While this era has no appeal to me to collect they do look stunning on mass. You have some nice set up's

Notice the metal cast of the Marx Friar Tuck figure which I converted and painted. I changed his arm, added a carbine and sling, and gave him a Spanish cross standard, which I made. I also painted the French soldier on the ladder (actually a Conte Mexican).

Sandor...enjoyed viewing your growing collection...how did you fabricate that rock mountain wall...

 

[Napoleon1er]

I cut foam with a saw, painted it in diluted Spackle, and then used many grays and blacks to make it look like rock.
