Woodland Ambush (2 Viewers)

I spent some time this afternoon thinking about a project I've been wanting to do using some of the more recent WB Clash of Empires figures. I've started repurposing a H&A diorama base made by Ken Osen that I collected many years ago at the OTSN show in Chicago. The backdrop for it is outstanding and was painted by Ken. He entitled it "At the Edge of the Woods." Here are some initial quick photos I took to give an idea what I am trying to create. I plan on getting some of the WB autumn old growth oak trees to add to this.

Thanks Mark. It's just the beginning and at this point a work in progress. It's going to be one of my projects going into the winter months. More trees are on their way.

This looks great Mike! I have most of those sets as well and I plan on getting some of those large late autumn trees.

Can't wait to see the finished product once you've gathered up the rest of the pieces you plan on adding to the display.

Thank you very much Mark. As you well know these sets are very well done and a joy to have. I plan on getting at least 3 of the large old growth autumn oaks.

Great scene, what a great ‘canvas’ that is to work with

Lovely inspiring diorama. I have the Indian firing from the tree and love it but you have really brought it to life in a thoughtful well positioned scene.

Thank you very much Gary. I'll be adding 3 more trees to the scene on Wednesday. Will post more to show the additions.
