time on my hands at last (2 Viewers)

[Larry Allen]

Robin,
As always, your work is superb in many ways.

On April 26th I am giving a Lecture to the Mid-Coast Maine Historical Society entitled ... "Learning, Preserving and Teaching History by collecting Toy Soldiers."

It will be about an hour long. I will be setting up a few small dioramas, (K&C AWI, K&C JN and JJD RSF)
My main presentation will be a PowerPoint show-and-tell in which I give the audience a look at the endless ranges, vendors, eras that are possible. The focus is on NON-combat scenes, but not all of them.

May I use some of your incredible displays, found in this thread, in my presentation?
I will, of course, give the MASTER his due credit !!!! ...:salute::

Sounds like a hoot Larry, of course take anything you need. My profile page has my photo albums if that's any help. Let me know how it all goes. Robin.

Very good Robin. Does the Missus have a hobby too? :salute::

Brad mate,
Barb is a lovely lady and her hobby is putting up with Robin!!!!!!!!!!^&grin^&grin Jen and I when in Adelaide always enjoy a Dinner down at a nice Chinese Restaurant in Christies Beach with the two of them. I have my fingers crossed that the two of them return safely from China after their two week trip.
We have been trying to get them both to come with us to the Chicago Show in September. Barb is keen so it is up to all the Amercian readers of this thread "Time on my hands at last" to pester him to come and enjoy some great U.S. hospitality.:smile2:
Cheers Howard

[mikemiller1955]

I don't know who this figure is supposed to be...but the guy in the long tan jacket reminds me of Donald Sutherland...

 

[mikemiller1955]

Interesting development in your western diorama. I like the collection of buildings on display now and especially the horses tied out front. The cavalry in the background are a neat touch as well. Well done. Regards Greg.

Brilliant mate really really like it and watching it grow when's the railway coming to town.

Very nice sir! Reminds one of all the wonderful Westerns we grew up with.

The Western town of Dry Gulch. Robin.

Robin;

These "Dry Gulch" scenes are very nice.

Composition is great, really captures the 'mood' of olde Westerns.

Thank you for putting together and posting.

I hope they make it Howard, it would be great to meet them. If not, I'm sure you'll make up for their absence :wink2:

Appreciate the comments and likes without which I would not remain inspired.
Here are some of the previous photos of Dry Gulch coming together. Robin.

That's the gang from "Blackadder Goes Forth". Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) is saluting, and Baldrick is weighed down with kit. I forget who the mustachioed gent is. Not Stephen Fry's character, though, I'm fairly certain.

Prost!
Brad
