What is the King doing in this backstreet??? Something seems amiss. Robin.

Enjoying a Hookah despite a ponderous amount of Westerners invading their place. Robin.

 

[villagehorse]

Was that as good for you as it was for me ? Robin

You insult me by implying that this item might be stolen, I only deal in reputable artefacts. Robin.

 

[villagehorse]

Look the other way dear and pretend that we do not see this pathetic creature. Robin.

Shall we have a drink Ariadne, or chance a trip to the infirmary? Robin.

A story right out of the movie Casablanca, Robin! I am waiting for Rick to pop into the Blue Parrot for a sit down with Ferrara.

Esp. like that first scene. Sneaky! Love it Robin.

 

[Dragoon]

Well Done! Great use of figures from a number of different series.

Casablanca meets Death on the Nile meets The Curse of the Mummy. Your creative imagination is on a roll this morning Robin. Love each and every one of them . . . Many plots within a plot.

Nice Robin...walk down those streets with your hand on your wallet...

Robin I had to return to take another look at this great series. These show how 2 to 3 figures and a little bit of imagination can tell such a big story. I also wanted to tell you how impressive your buildings are which really facilitate that aire of antiquity and mystery of perhaps a good film noir movie.

Appreciate all your comments guys, such terrific forum members. Jakob’s building normally positioned on my Light Horse diorama has taken holiday to a slightly later era. Robin.

That's an outstanding prop. Jakob knocked that one out of the park for sure.

Yes nice diorama base giving the impression, the flavour of North Africa / Middle East as you see in those old Hollywood movies we all know and love, or as you've used it for in the fast pace of the Light Horse dioramas and certainly fits with your seedy streets of Cairo, but would work just as well as Luxor, Aswan, Alex, Tripoli or Tunis and I dare say Marrakech and Casablanca !
Keep them coming Robin, a good little theme off the beaten track !

Great photos Robin. Those figures look great up next to Jakob's buildings.

Very well done Robin!
Jakob’s buildings provide an excellent backdrop for our Egyptian series… Delighted you are enjoying all of them.
All the best,
Andy.
