Lovely boat. If you were to draw and cut the shape of it out of a 1 inch thick sheet of styrodur, and texturing and painting that as water, you could sink the stand into the hole so it looks like it's floating. :smile2:

A lot going on in this superb diorama with the highlight being the boat and crew. Great wave effect created. Well done. Regards Greg.

 

[farmertony]

Wonderful scenes.You're really into boats at the moment.

 

[Artillery_crazy]

Great Sudan scenes.....and the use of 3 different manufacturers that blend in very well....
I always like when we can blend different manufactures for each will always contribute something different to the scene...be it a pose, a set of figures, or just allow a mass/volume twist to the diorama....
Need to add some gatling or nordenfelt to the charge dio.....all that fizzy wizzy Camel charge will over ran the troops{sm4}{sm4}:salute::
Cheers

My work takes me into peoples houses and I saw a homemade Nile Gun boat a few months ago and a very impressive sight it was too, manned with glossies, over in Pyrford, so you may well know the guy Martyn.

Hi.
Did these Roman and Egyptian ships also come from a nautical shop? Or were they made by a toy soldier company like LOD?
Thanks,
MikeNick

The Egyptian ship was made for me by a local modeller, the large Roman galley was made many years old now by Conte and the smaller one is a Playmobil. Robin.

Robin...all nice pictures...love the stonework and the cemetery!

Great set of photos there Robin. Like the way you've place the figures especially around the car in the Ambush.

Really very nicely done Robin . . . . the raised burial ground adds an interesting geographical detail to your fine diorama. Thanks for posting . . . .
