I Put together Ken Osen's and Mark Vucannon's diorama creations I purchased at the Westcoaster. Pardon the quality of the pictures. I think I need a new camera.

German Army on the Retreat and Arresting Civilians Along the Way,
U.S. Army Recon Units Entering a French Village,
A U.S. Army Battallion Command Post Using a Captured German Trench

Great dioramas! Ken Osen made Hans, Larry, Mark Hoffman and I each a terrific diorama of a similar theme, but with a totally destryed bombed out house, which I absolutely love, but yours is even better!

Awesome dioramas! The Road to Paris by Ken is my favorite of his!

Nice set-ups, noli! Where do have them in your house? And is that all H&A grass?

Thank you troops for the kudos.

The grass and trench is by Build-a-Rama. The backdrop on the "Road to Paris is a "cheapy" paper print from Kullisen Diorama Background I bought from Michigan Toy Soldier Company (till I get a much better one and bigger).

Mark just made me a 64" X 45" grass mat with dirt road and a 14" wide river. I plan to put it up this week-end with my Conte ruined village house, barn, and the KC Pontoon Bridge (until I get a real village bridge, this will do for now). I'll post some pictures sometime next week.

Unfortunately, when I moved to AZ from NJ, I lost my huge basement. So every now and then, I set them up on my dining table enjoy it, take pictures and pack-up after 3 days. The Ken Osen Road to Paris stays in my curio with the rest of my displays.

The BAR mats are very ideal for me as I can roll them easily for safe storage

I agree ! The BAR mats are easy and don't shed either. Can you get an above ground basement down there?

That's very funny Mike...aboveground basement? You mean the attic right? AZ gets to be very hot July-August. Besides, unlike the East Coast where the AC and heaters are in the basement, it's in the attic here in AZ. I am looking into it though...or maybe just move to a new house with a basement (they get to be very expensive because of the "hard dig").
