New Office Diorama... (1 Viewer)

[Fraxinus]

Mike,

Simply wonderful composition and the close up photos are superb. Particularly like how you posed the wagoner figures ---- we could definitely use more releases of wagon drivers.

The groundwork and the use of the "shrubberies" is as expected - outstanding in every way. Master Work.

It's never final Mike, there always on going fine tuning.^&grin. Really like so many aspects of this diorama. The breach in the wall looks great. A wonderful layout, something to be proud of. Hopefully more photos will surface in the future. Robin.

Hi Mike,

I sense something of a visual dilemna in these latest pics of your new diorama. On the one hand, it's a fantastic way to showcase your collection. On the other, I suspect that an onlooker could spend many an hour admiring individual figures and groupings, and never, really, be able to take it all in. Simply taking a different view of matters, from another distance, angle or attitude would invariably provide new appreciation for what you've created. The experience would leave them forever asking, "how did I not see that before, how did it get away from me?" Hat's off to you, sir, and well done

Mike, stunning pictures.
Every time I see your work I'm still fascinated as several years ago when I saw the first Jenkins set, the BM01.

Mike,

These latest pics really bring out your excellent work. I love how you positioned the Indians and set up all those little scenes within the scope of the larger dio. I truly admire all the artistic work you do and share with us. Not only is it a joy to see but it is very inspiring!
