As always - my pleasure.

How much would something like that cost???

Andy quoted the cost of this particular diorama and flatcar (figures and vehicles not included) as US$3,500.00. It took Gordon about two weeks to make. The building took 3 days. The new Work Shop division has a substantial number of orders and certain collectors are willing to pay these prices for Gordon's work.

 

[jazzeum]

I thought it would be way north of $2,000. It looks stunning but I think it's out of the range of most of us, even the well heeled ones.

Ah, the old "figures not included" statement

 

[Njja]

Yes its a wonderful piece, but that is quite a chunk of change.

Thats THREE of Njja Chaeffe Tanks on Ebay - wow!

Just kidding Njja

Its alot of scratch for a display piece - great work though.

Does anyone know who actually buys most of Gordon's work?? Is it company's or just people like us??

 

[Louis Badolato]

Up until recently it was mostly collectors buying these dioramas. In the past, most sold for between $750 and $1,500. The only time Andy ever asked for more than $3,000 was for the huge Saracen Castle diorama. But I guess with Gordon's skills increasing so much, even a smaller diorama with one of these wonderful buildings is going to be that expensive. Even I blanch at spending that kind of money.

Its a big chunck of change that is for sure - Louis.

Is Andy bringing any of these dioramas with him ? - I know you have a few and I do look forward in seeing them up close.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you this weekend.

It's impressive but at that price I could assemble the materials for a 1:1 scale effort ...

 

[arnhem44mad]

Can Gordon make any kind of diorama you ask for??? You know if its possible to build it!!!!confused:

 

[jazzeum]

Yes, Gordon can do that and I think that's been talked about before but there may be a long line in front of you. You should contact him through King and Country.
