Thanks Mike . . . Trying to stay cool in Wisconsin will be hard to do the next few days. High in the 90's with heat indexes near 100° . . . And it's not a "dry heat" either.

Mike,

Just phenomenal!:salute:: I plan on doing something similar on one of Ken Osen's custom Civil War dioramas once John produces his 14th Brooklyn, but your use of the Hudson & Allen modular bases is inspirational!{sm4}

Thank you very much Louis for your very kind comments. The H&A modular bases certainly facilitate making nice looking dioramas.
