I don't collect these...but after seeing them in person...I think I want to...they are very nice...I especially love the hats...

I met a guy in San Antonio at the Texas Toy Soldiers 2 years ago...he bought about 4 dioramas from me...

he called me the other day and said he saw a diorama at KingsX...that he wanted built as he had fallen in love with K&C's John Ford's Cavalry figures...and bought several sets from KingsX...intending to buy the entire series...

he sent me this picture of a diorama that K&C made...I believe Gordon...I'm not sure...and asked me if I could do something similar to it...

here is the pic he sent me...

Mike,
This looks just great.

You have wonderful artistic skills and it is always a pleasure and inspiration to see your work.
I have been looking at some of your earlier postings and have learnt so much from your step by step builds.

This new set-up has given me great ideas and inspiration to build a Spanish Peninsular war village for my Naps soldiers.
Keep up your excellent work.

Cheers
Paul

I saw the John Ford Western series at Chicago and liked it very much! As a kid I loved those iconic US cavalry uniforms. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this series became quite popular and much expanded.

And now as adults many still love those iconic uniforms from those great movies.
