One-of-A-Kind 15 by 15 inch Diorama by Gordon Neilson (signed by him in May, 2010) (1 Viewer)

I just managed to pick up this diorama hand-made by Gordon Neilson in May, 2010 (the bottom is actually signed by Gordon and dated). I am about to add some really cool classic K&C items from the '90's to my collection, and will take some photos of them on this diorama when they arrive.

It will be good to see a few figures on it. That will give it some size perspective. It isn't big enough for a vehicle, is it?

Terry,

I definitely can fit a smaller vehicle, like a Hanomag, Kubelwagon, Hetzer, armored car or Jeep. I might be able to put a smaller tank like a Chafee or Panzer II. Maybe a Stug III. I doubt a Tiger Tank could comfortably fit on it, but I will position some vehicles and figures on it and take some more shots.

That's truly a beautiful piece, can't wait to see what you do with it.

I call this one, "Coffee, Tea or a Sitrep?" I used the original wood Bren Gun Carrier and Para Jeep (both from circa 1996) along with some early DD and Market Garden figures. I tossed in the MP on the Harley as the closest thing to a dispatch rider I could lay my hands on quickly.

And finally, "A Target Rich Environment," starring a K&C Hawker Typhoon (the first of the new Warbirds released at the fourth NY Symposium), and the original wood and metal Hanomag, Resin and Metal 8 Wheeled Armored Car and Kubelwagon from 1995-1996 and some early WS figures:

Duke,

My pleasure. In the process of replacing a few more classic K&C items I parted with a few years ago, and will populate the diorama with them upon receipt and take some additional photos.:salute::
