K and C in the New Zealand Toy Museum. (1 Viewer)

Looks like this room will be the Star Attraction at the Museum and gather a lot of attention ! :salute::

Glad to see you've got some perspex covers for the dioramas to stop the little sticky taking a souvenir !{sm0}

If it's not nailed down they're have it ! {sm2}{sm5}

Heres the first photos of Vietnam, it will be bigger,

plus more soldiers to put in.

The Waterloo dio is impressive. Conveys the large scale field of battle that occurred. The Vietnam dio has come together, although pity the second Land Rover does not make an appearance until June. Like to get some feedback eventually on the comments on what patrons thought. Well done on all your efforts. Robin.
 
Some more photos, including the water buffalo I added today.

The VC are lurking everywhere, even the Centurion tank commanders are in mortal danger. The Pikes and Muskets is another colourful series sure to provide candy for the eye. Robin.
 
Here are some photos of Pike and Musket, plus a few planes,
Still have a D day Diorama to set up and the Eighth Army.

The room is finished and open to the public today, for Anzac Day.
There is going to be another room, where I will be displaying my
Arnhem Bridge Diorama, making the bridge 10 feet long,
Battle of the Bulge Diorama, will be 9 feet long, and my Berlin 38,
will be 8 feet long.

Interesting how there is also an ambulance of real life artefacts to compliment the displays, so appropriate. Robin.
 
After seeing all these superb displays visitors may be a little disappointed if they're not for sale in the museum shop !{sm5}

Steve
 
Congratulations. Your dioramas are absolutely superb. It’s great that the public may get an interest in our hobby after such great exposure from these dios
 
I must admit I am a bit jealous that I don't have a display of my sets as terrific as this one is ...:( Jus tWOW!!!!!

Very inspiring indeed.

To visit this showcase would be a wonderful adventure, but I am afraid getting to New Zealand from Waldoboro, Maine would be more of an adventure than I could take!!! {sm2}

WEL DONE FOLKS!

LaRRy
 
Simply stunning. Makes we wish I could come home to New Zealand quicker.
