I’m combining the two previous threads to include all the dioramas still up for sale.
The dioramas No.2-4 are approx. 70cm long by 35cm deep, made from an mdf base with profiled board sides. All the figures are permanently attached & embedded into the ground work, and the bases are covered with scenery materials.
Diorama No.1 The British Gunboat on the way to Khartoum 1885.
This Diorama does NOT include the Gunboat and consists of a rebated mdf base, the underside of which is covered in green felt baize, and comes with an 8mm thick acrylic cover. Size is approx. 117cm long by 58.5cm deep by 31cm high. The cover fits neatly over the profiled board sides. All the figures are permanently attached & embedded into the ground work, and the bases are covered with scenery materials. The Nile River was the centre portion of the JG miniatures mat I already had, the rest was made using Woodland Scenics realistic water and painted to match.
Regarding the figures, some of the wounded Hadendoa & Mahdists were converted by the removal of the base, re-positioning arms, legs and then repainted. To give some variety I also repainted one of the Mahdist flags.
This diorama comprises 32 figures & 3 mounted camels. POA.
Diorama No.2 The 42[SUP]nd[/SUP] (Black Watch) Regiment at the Battle of Tamai 1884.
This diorama has just over half of the Black Watch figures repainted. The red coated figures from the TEK range now have grey and the Royal Artillery set is from the Zulu series repainted for the Sudan. I replaced the lightweight 7pdr gun barrel with a modified one to suit a 9pdr. Some of the wounded Hadendoa were converted by removing the bases. This diorama comprises 41 figures, 3 mounted camels, 1 gun & 1 limber. POA.
Diorama No.3 The York and Lancaster Regiment at the Battle of Tamai 1884.
Some of the wounded Hadendoa were converted by the removal of the base, re-positioning arms, legs and then repainted. This diorama comprises 45 figures & 2 mounted camels. POA.
Diorama No.4 The Guards Regiment of the Camel Corps at the Battle of Abu Klea 1885.
Some of the wounded Hadendoa were converted by the removal of the base, re-positioning arms, legs and then repainted. Camel blankets have been repainted red. This diorama comprises 44 figures, 3 mounted camels & 3 dismounted camels. POA.
Please note: these are for UK only sales, due to the complexity & fragile nature of the dioramas.
For prices and delivery options, or for more info & photos, please contact me by pm.
Thank you for looking.
