okay...so I'm doing this small diorama (30"x30")...it's enclosed in a polished wooden frame...very sturdy...with the K&C Life of Jesus series...and it has a limited amount of figures right now...but they are soooooooo nice...really well sculpted and painted...very colorful..."big bang" for your buck...yes...the figures are really that nice...
well anyway...I spoke to Andy and he said it's okay to reveal to the public that he has larger plans in mind for the future of this series...he said they hope to create figures up to and throughout the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ...so hopefully more figures are on the way...maybe even some Roman soldiers...that's my guess...not Andy's promise...
but in the meantime I wanted to create a little market scene to show them off...so I made a couple of buildings...a vendors booth and a little freestanding structure with a canvas top (actually an old shirt)...which I'm not real happy with as the fabric keeps curling and doesn't look straight...even though I guarantee it's straight...
I'll fix the curling problem...not sure how yet...maybe just spray with starch...but I just wanted to show a little progress that I have made...
I will start the sand terrain and ground work tomorrow...hopefully finishing with it soon...I'm really pleased with my efforts so far...especially the idea to enclose the market with a brick wall with a spot in the back for the camels they rode up on...:tongue:...
any ideas or comment on what anyone can think of that I might add...feel free to speak up...
the vendors will be selling vases...urns...jugs...crates...and of course sheep to the herders...
Fabulously done as you always do Michael. Enjoyed our chat this morning and I am glad you mentioned this thread. Just great stuff . . . .
