Actually, I like your dioramas more that you don't use digital effects.

Many thanks for all of your kind comments guys very much appreciated. Especially after having filled my loft with smoke which immediately set off both fire alarms. Certainly was a bit of a panic to remove the batteries before my beloved called the fire brigade. Have had a bit more success using a converted bee smoker and cartridge.

Steve, thanks for your suggestion -a perfectly sound idea but I'm a bit of an analogue man when it comes to designing/constructing dioramas-Adding/enhancing or using photo-shop type tools on my photographs always made me feel like I was cheating just a bit {sm2}. Yeah! I know call me old fashioned^&grin

Yes you're like a craftsman who is proud of his work and quite rightly too. I think everyone admires your dioramas.
I see what you mean about photo shopping and feeling like you would be cheating a bit.
Alas for myself I do use photos as background as I don't have the skill or eyesight to do so many minute models. But I am working at improving what I can do !

All these Antietam scenes look great, but that first scene with the Rebs stacked up behind the fence line is stunning!!

Bob,
Another winner; as much as I enjoy your non combat scenes, ones like this really grab me and are right in my wheelhouse. It's obvious a great deal of planning and work went into this one, positioning each figure just so to convey a story, it's one of your best efforts to date IMO.

Your work inspires me to keep raising my game and doing a better job with each diorama I work on, so thanks for providing that to me.................

Bob, I am a Wisconsin grad and Iron Brigade aficionado, and my great, great grandfather's North Carolina regiment fought in the vicinity of the Cornfield. I was excited to see your diorama. So much action packed into that scene and done in your usual brilliant style.
