CLICK on this and Enjoy:



First, I have great fun doing these videos of history. The toy soldiers shown are from some of the best manufacturers of museum quality military miniatures ever! These are: King and Country (Andy Neilson), Figarti Miniatures (Rick Wang) and William Britains (Ken Osen).

However, there are 2 things that really make this toy soldier video come alive. They are the diorama and soundtrack.

Almost 90% of all the diorama material shown, came from my old friend Mark Vuncannon, Build A Rama. These materials include some custom pieces (e.g. mat, trees, earthworks). BTW, Mark also customized any Britains toy soldiers in this video from WWII GI’s to Pacific USMC figures. Can you spot them in the video?

The background music was from Kevin MacLeod and together with some sound effects from “Flags of Our Father” and HBO’s “The Pacific” make this story really pop doesn’t it

THANK YOU!

Great video Carlos. Like the page turning effect and sound track really makes it come alive. You certainly captured the desperate fighting across the Pacific. Chris
 
Hi Carlos,

This is awesome! The sound effects bring this amazing diorama to life. Love the tank shots and other detailed sounds that you added.
Incredible!

Same here, I just found this.... busy holiday season ... but this is simply OUTSTANDING :salute:: :salute::.
I have watched it 3 times and found new things each time. A great blend of figures and matching up the sound effects.

Interesting the way you cut the mat to have the LCVP positioned in the water. So many good things to say!

Carlos, excellent work mate, a terrific blending of sound and figure action. I especially like the Camo uniforms and Sherman tank, brings up the colour impact.
