Have to agree with Louis on that one (who wouldn't) It is always a pleasure to see what is next on the workbench Ken whether it be H&A or WB.

Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
 
We also finished three new shelf scenics for the West Coaster but we just ran out of time and had to ship them so we didn't get any pictures. We will try to take some photos in the room while we are there so we can post them when we get back.
I also have another shelf diorama not quite finished yet. I hope to be able to get back to it in a couple of weeks... this one is the Eastern Front for a change.
More to follow...
Again thank you for the kind comments!
All the Best,
Ken

It's a pleasure to see the results of each and every one of the dioramas you've created Ken and there's no doubt as I've said before you'll leave CA for home without them. By chance do you have plans for additional shelf diorama featuring a setting we have not seen that both the men of the 24th and the pesky Zulu warriors would feel at home in.....The Lt.
 
Ken,
It's amazing how much of an eye you have for details.We go by things everyday without really noticing them but you sure do.You should get your pictures of all the shelf dioramas and put them in a album for all to see.

That's one of the most realistic, if not the most realistic building I have ever seen. Your effort will really pay dividends. Excellent work.:cool:, Michael

I had a few more pictures of 'the Road to Paris...1944' in my folder that I thought I would share.
This first one shows most of the street layout to the left of the hotel. This includes the gate and entrance to the hotel, the kiosk with period posters and proclamations, the tree and traffic signs.

This next one is a close up of the chimney and the terra cotta chimney pots. Notice the failing stucco revealing the stone construction. In the late eighteenth century many older buildings got a 'modern' facelift of stucco, and occasionally new windows.

This last one shows the full end of the hotel

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Very nice stuff Ken. I can't wait to see your new works at the West Coaster in a day or so.

Kudos Ken, Kudos. I can not say anything more that hasn't already been said by others. I really really like the stone work.

Hi All!
Well 'The Road to Paris...1944' went to a new home at the West Coaster. It is funny, but I have been doing this for so long that I usually don't think much about handing over a finished work to a new owner... but I really liked this one. Maybe I will get enough time to make one for me sometime soon.
The good news is that the client will be getting a second one to add to this and I am looking forward to building it.
I will post some images when it is finished, and perhaps we can convince the new owner to post a couple of images of the two together with some of his collection on it.
The West Coaster was fun to do and Ericka and I sold virtually everything we took... All of the shelf scenics and almost every small scenic and scenic bases. We only had two small hedge rows and some H&A detail packages to pack up and ship home!
We are really looking forward to the Chicago show this fall and by then we should have a good number of new products, including some new buildings.
Thank you all for your support!
All the Best!
Ken
 
Ahhh Ken.. You're one of the top 10 people I would like to meet Wish I could make it to NY. Bill W

Standing in the streets of some of these ancient villages it was easy to imagine Allied Sherman tanks rumbling down the streets paved with centuries old cobblestones. For some unfortunate villages it was just another army following the same path as the soldiers of times past.

Who made the Tank?

It really was a beautiful piece. I am glad I got to see it. Rosemary?
 
Do the rooms in the hotel have furniture too?

Awesome skills!
