Someone was up late last night playing and can see why. Very nicely done and put together Michael along with loads of trees with a great batch of photos. Seems like you thought you needed to get a chance to play in the snow and didn't want to be left out seeing you don't get any if I'm not mistaken in your neck of the woods. Thanks Michael the photos were a pleasure to see while attcking my first cup of coffee......The Lt.
 
Wonderful Michael just wonderful. You really are quite good at this diorama stuff !!
 
Forgot on my last posting to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL
 
Michael looks excellent! Who makes those little trees? Makes me wish I started the Snow Shoes collection but I must not.
 
Michael

This is your masterpiece. How did you make the panoramic background? it's perfect.

I really like that foam base idea - very clever on holding the trees ! ;)

Great looking diorama - feel the battle with this one for sure ! :D
 
Superb job. This is what a diorama should be. I can feel the cold and confusion. Trees look great and the background seals the deal. -- lancer
 
Thank you Joe, Brit, Jag, Randy, Ron, Lancer and Michael.

Jag, the trees are made by Mother Nature, no retailers are carrying them yet, but you can find them in your back yard at a very good price.

Randy, the backdrop is 5 duplicate photos trimmed and taped together. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you sent me the original.

Styrofoam base was sprayed with spray adhesive, sprinkled with Woodland Scenic snow. Trees were plugged in and snow brushed over bases with a paintbrush, ala Randy also.

Thanks, Michael
 
Hi Michael,

I simply marvel at your diorama constructing talents. Your Snowshoe diorama is truly magnificent! Thanks for allowing us to view it.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat :)
 
Excellent work! One of the nicest displays I have seen, looks great in your bookcase!
 
Great work Michael. The snow looks bang on the mark, and the depth you've added to the trees by the use of the backdrop, really makes it.

Mike

Yes Mike, it is a styrofoam base, sprayed with aerosal adhesive and two coats of Woodlane Scenic snow.
 
Great diorama Michael. Very impressive!
Have some of your Brits changed sides?

Pete
 
Thanks Pete,

I just read your message and panicked.

"Have some of your Brits changed sides?"

Everybody looks like they are in the right spot, what are you seeing?
