Most of those pics are my glossy Tradition collection but there are a few of my Napoleonic era Britains Redcoats in their too. Wife made me move my WWII K&C dios to the den for the holidays:(. She has a strict no violent/no Nazi stuff on display at Christmas time and I have not got around to setting them back up.

Thought so...love the looks of those massed ranks of red coats that you alluded to in another thread. Very nice looking little army.

I always thought the Napoleonic and some ancients looked best in massed formations while WWI WWII looked better in various poses, IMHO. Have you checked out the thread with the 2 companies of K&C AWI redcoats:cool:. So far I've limited myself to just getting some of K&C Nap Cavalry, but that display has me thinking.... Bonk, thats the wife hitting me on the head:eek:.

I'd expect she'll stop doing that eventually. ;) As far as massed formations go, yes I really like the visual impact and did look at the K&C AWI thread and was suitably impressed. I am focusing on Napoleonics for massive display purposes, but just getting started on that, otherwise have numerous smaller displays in the 10-30 figure range mostly from 18th and 19th century British conflicts.

You're lucky mate.
 
In so many ways my friend;). Oh, BTW she funds a good bit of my collection herself:). I just started the K&C WWI range at her urging:):cool:!
 
I Like The Big Dioramas I Think It Gives The Collection Life As A Real Battle Is Taken Place, Some Smaller Dios Are Nice But I Love The Big Battle Sort Of Speak...sammy

I use some small display cases from arts & craft stores. The football display cases are a good size for displaying assorted figures, they have a mirror for the back panel, and it's easy to make little riser inserts to put in them, to allow viewing the figures at the back.

I also have some long-range projects to increase display space. I bought a china cabinet at a yard sale, it stands about 5' high, and has a glass front and sides. It's a nice reddish or copper-colored wood, and I'm refinishing/refurbishing it, to use for display.

Another display cabinet is an old microscope case, about 20" square and about 4" deep. The front of the case is its door or lid, consisting of a narrow frame holding a large pane of glass, and hinged at the bottom. It still had a lock and key, and a little celluloid plate with the maker's name and address. I refinished it and added a light, and a glass shelf about halfway between the top and bottom, and some hardware to hang it on the wall.

And at Christmas, I set up a Putz under the tree, with sets of figures. Some years, it's the Kaiser taking the salute at a Christmas parade of the Alexander grenadiers (Guard Corps, Stadden, Rose figures, among others), or Washington and some Continentals, or the Reeves French line infantry band. This year, it was civilian figures, musicians from the 18th century, in a Christmas concert (Mozart on piano).

But a lot of stuff is still in boxes.....

Prosit!

Harry the day that my Lord K & C post a photo will be known as the day he's lost for words:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: He's been ask on a number of occasions by yours truly to share a photo or two but apparently he just goes on chatting and chatting but in a constructive way as The Lord of K & C:D:D:D. Do you think if I ask again very very nicely that he may consider taking some photos and sending to me to post. Or better still let's take a poll should he or should he not take photos featuring his Charge of The Light Brigade Figures on the dio Tony made for him. All in favor of Sir Rob taking photos if the poll results are in favor of him taking and posting photos say I.


Boy am I going to get a what's for from my Lord of K & C on this one:eek::eek::eek:The Lt.
 
I like table top because you can display them when they are not on my diorama :D. I also like dioramas because the can reenact any scene.

Hey, Col. Hesler, where does your quote come from? I can't place it.

Thanks!

I know it sounds silly but I'm in the process of converting 1 of my 2 pool tables into a massive AK diorama. I plan on refinishing the wood and having a friend of mine who works with glass attempt to make some sort of protective case for the entire table. Right now its just in the works and I hope to have it done by the end of May. Hopefully it will work out I'm really excited to see how it looks once I finish it.

I think that's a great idea.
I do wish I had enough room to try and do something similar.
Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
