I thought this might provide a change of pace from WWII for all the K&C fans. This is the extent of my K&C marines from my eclectic collection. Hope you enjoy it. Randy

The figures are in front of a photo of the Willam Byrd mansion "Westover" which dates from the 18th Century and is located in Williamsburg, VA.
Glad you asked--I was trying to make it look as real as possible. The scale of the photo works well with the figures.

Nice one! I thought it was a diorama too, the photo and the size match.

Hi Randy,

I really love those Continental Marine figures! They are awesome! I also appreciate the fact that you have wonderful variety in your collection. The picture you posted makes a great change of pace from the many WW II pictures that are posted. While I greatly enjoy seeing all the exciting WW II pictures, it is refreshing to see other things as well.

Keep up the good work!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Nice photo! Thanks for this post--it is, as you said, a nice break from WWII.

I have only one marine so far, but I am trying to get a few more.

Randy,

Your pictures become more amazing with each new post. This one blows my mind. Do you have a background in photography? If not, your knack for this stuff is astounding. Like the others have said, the building looks too real to be a photo background. I am once again impressed.

I'm thrilled you guys like this. I am having fun making them and enjoy sharing.

I thought sure you were going to say it was a dio and not a picture. Well done!

Thanks Shannon! It's like Hollywood--all about illusion and fooling the eye
