Brilliant work Michael. Love the ground work especially - nice balanced blend of sand and vegitation.

Very nice Dio

Michael this diorama would also go well with your crusader displays which you've previously posted. I'm envious of your creativity - the buildings are very special and most of all very effective!

Hey guys...thanks to everybody for the polite compliments and words of encouragement...

if anybody has been following my rant on the tarp or canopy...that I didn't like it and was gonna redo it...well I did...just a simple white piece of t-shirt draped over it and sprayed with a liquidy white glue...I know it's plain...not colorful...but for now...I'm gonna leave it like that...

I also dug it out of the ground and patched the earthwork...I would rather have it removable and free standing so I might put some Crusader/Saracens in a dio or some some Gordons/Dervish in a dio...

Michael, your village scene looks great! I'm glad you got that new figure and made him a central character in your dio. He fits in well. Where did you get those whicker baskets in your dio?

I bought mine a Squadron Mail Order...

http://www.squadron.com/

they are made by Custom Dioramics...Squadron bought the company...

I don't know the stock number...they were actually retired and the sweet lady on the phone told me she would take them out of retirement and run a batch of them...I had them in about 4 days...

George...here you go...they come unpainted...I painted 1/2 of mine black and 1/2 of them brown...then highlighted (dry brushed) with a tan on the brown and white on the black ones...
