Village Green Delivery (5 Viewers)

I couldn't help myself. I had to make a quick set up to get an idea on how it would look on the framed base that will be used. I'll spend the rest of the month gathering a few more Village Green sets and accessories as well as diorama supplies. The project will begin after the holidays.

Excellent Mike…I can’t wait to see your progress Mike. Ericka and I were recently through Athens as it isn’t very far from here and one of our friends lives there, so this will be fun to see!

Thanks Ken. There was a lot happening in Athens during the 1850's and that is why I decided to use this locale as a back story to my Village Green display. It was a new hub for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (formerly the Marrietta & Cincinnati RR), a known Underground Railroad Station, the home to the newly established Ohio University, and much more. I think I'll have a lot of fun creating this one.

Mike,

The whole scene looks great. You positioned the figures to tell a perfect story.

Now if Ken would only do more AWI civilians so I could make a simliar scene.

Thank you very much Mark. I want to collect at least 3 more figure sets; Virgil Caine chopping wood (hired hand), Vivian with clean laundry (hired laundress), and Amy feeding chickens as the youngest Johnson daughter. Also plan on a picket fence around house yard, corn, and snake rail fencing for corn field.

Beautiful piece, I can’t wait to see what you do with this
 
The 19th Century One Story Clapboard House that I ordered from WB, handmade and painted by Ken and Erica Osen & staff was delivered this evening. Well worth the wait. It is well detailed and came with glazed windows, a Certificate, Historical background information, as well as a cast iron stove. This will be perfect for my plans to make a mid 19th century homestead in southern Ohio circa October 1860 just before the Presidential election and of course the American Civil War. My plan is to make a 2-foot x 3-foot display of the Charles Johnson family homestead located east of Athens, Ohio and west of Warren's Station, Ohio on the road which is now US Route 50. I imagined this story line because I lived in Athens for several years and am familiar with it's history. I will be posting the progress on a separate thread here once I begin this winter project.

Look forward to it mate, that is a great piece.
