Newly Created Display w/Panther (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Tuesday I purchased a 14-inch x 11-inch picture frame at my local Michael's Craft stoe to use to frame a diorama display I planned on creating. Yesterday I put most of the display together. After some " tweaking" this morning I decided it was finished. Here are a few photos of what it looks like including one with the JJD Panther on it.

Very impressive base Mike.

THX Chris. This is the first small framed display I've done. I have created several others using 2'x3' poster frames. I believe I enjoyed working the smaller scale more so than the larger projects.

Thank you very much Gary. Funny you should ask. I am so pleased with how this turned out that I told my wife that I bet I could sell dioramas like this at toy soldier shows if I wanted to.

Excellent looking work Mike.

THX Steve, much appreciated

Mike, your work is fantastic on your framed vignette display base! Looks great with the JJD Panther as well as the W. Britains figures in your other post in that forum.

I’ve been making framed vignettes for years and it’s fun to see the concept catching on with other longtime collectors as of late

Thanks Tristan. As I have said in the past, your very well done framed vignettes were my inspiration. They are fun to make and very rewarding to photograph.

Wonderful job Mike! Between you and Tristan's work with these small displays I am inspired to try building one myself.
