...What do you guys think about them

Ken has raised the bar on realistic diorama grass and foliage. I purchased one at the show, and suggested he attend the West Coaster (where I can purchase more since I drive to that show)

I think they are terrific but I do wonder how difficult it is to the foliage onto the trees

 

[Wraith]

The trees, foilage etc, are absolutely first rate. More real than the real thing.

Great photos, i am glad that you posted them. By the time I got to the show on Saturday after my 11 hour drive, most of the smaller scenic pieces were gone and ALL of the large scenes were sold. The room was full of people. I was able to purchase a small scene with barbed wire and a tree stump with grass for $25 which I thought was a great price. It looks real and the scale of the material is perfect for 1/32-1/30 scale figures. I also got a small grassy piece for $20 which looks great with a K & C tank on it.
Once again, thanks for the photos.

Thanks for the pics, the photos look great. From what I can see the prices are reasonable also and would only add to Ken's terrific figures that he sculpt's for WB.

These are great he should mass produce some of these,either with Britains or by himself.

Wow, those prices are very reasonable especially when you consider how fantastic the detail is.

Will this company be selling dioramas on a regular basis so us in foreign lands can get hold of some?

Sweet!

I hope some of these will be available for sale to the general public. I have used the gutters & downspouts, shingles, and rubble for some of my dioramas and they are great stuff.

Great photos of the scenery displays ken has to offer! i wish there was somewhere in england we could buy them as they are top notch & reasonably priced for the amount of effort that must of gone into them!!! Any chance we could be seeing H&A at a future london show?

Hi There!
Ericka and I are working out some details to bring more of this type of work to a broader market without sacrificing the quality, or increasing prices.
Keep in mind that these are all one of a kind dioramas and scenics to date and we probably will not 'mass produce' anything in the short term.
This will be a challenge as we will only make these in-house with our staff here in Michigan, but we are confident that we can do this.
Also keep in mind that we always have provided custom work directly to clients and that we will be happy to quote projects built to specific size, geographic area and time period.
Any developments beyond this we will post in this section of the forum.
Feel free to contact us with any questions!
All the best!

Great pics of Ken's handy work Carlos. Also, it certainly was my pleasure meeting you (Treefrog Treasures room). I purchased the two desert scenic bases that you have included in your pics. Here are some pics of how I am currently using one of them.

Hi Again!
It is wonderful to see these bases used with your collection of great figures Mike.
Ericka and I have been spending this week recovering from the show and packaging some of the scenics purchased at Chicago for shipment to various points here in the US.
Thank you all for your support and positive comments on our work! There will be some new scenics and dioramas posted here in the next couple of weeks!
Take care!
Ken Osen

Where can I purchase this diorama base (trail with barbwire and tank traps and mg nest)? can I get an aerial and dimensions when put together. I see a tag of $500 is that the price. Please PM me.

Thanks

I was glad that I went to Ken's room at OTSN - what great work. I love scenery like this and Ken has an artist's eye for the little things in nature. The textures and materials are so far above most commercial offerings as to in a new class of diorama base. Trust me, I have been into model trains and have enjoyed dioramas for years and I am aware of a number of scenery techniques. Ken's scenes are a delight just to look at.

Something else that is very nice - Ken is super at answering questions. He has a few "trade secrets" but is generally very informative about how he creates his scenery and foliage.
