[Giorginetto]

Bravo bb !!! wonderful set up and details !!! Beatifull diorama , thanks for sharing with us !!!

For some reason this set up reminds me of ' Little House On The Prairie ' one of the best tv series for kids if you ask me and nothing like the junk and rubbish on TV ( American and European this is..) , you diorama reminds me so much of that and reminds me i have to buy this entire series one day and show it to my daughter so it helps her learn the important human values that this series so well portrayed and in such a consequent way your diorama !! bravo !!i think its much more singnificant and meaningfull than most would think !!! really like the family on the wagon, just awesome

Really nice!

Love the way the horses have the reins on the... those things to tie them to.   

And the cowboys with the cattle.

The barman is perfect! Great looking klicky for that! 

The economy room is scary!   

Did you put the double bunks like that on purpose?

Hope the sheriff gets rid of the deputy! Idiot! 

And the painted basket looks awesome! What's the candy made of? Looks yummy....

Love the doc's sign, and the custom ones on the headquarters! And the most perfect one on the livery, with the cutout... looks gorgeous!

Great use of the log cabin. Brilliant idea. And must be very handy for the passengers.

And the skunk with the necktie

Thanks so much everyone! Glad you like it!

The little girl in the cart with the long yellow dress, which set is she from?

P.S. Could someone get that poot little baby out of that uncomfortable wicker basket? 

She's a custom. I'm actually not sure where all her parts came from, but I think the yellow skirt is from 4258 - Royal Carriage. And yeah, too bad they didn't have nice carseats back then!

I may well have subconsciously been influenced by this series. I used to watch it quite a lot, though I don't like it nearly as much as the original books which I have read dozens of times!

Yes, about the double bunks. The candy is made from some old tiny glass beads I had lying around, we used to call them indian beads. I had to put them in from the bottom and then put a piece of clear packing tape at the bottom to hold them in. All those custom signs were a lot of fun! Chris and I went to a hobby store and found a bunch of really great printed papers to use for backgrounds, and appropriate lettering, and a few stickers for embellishment. The saloon could still use a sign, but I need to figure out how to attach it.

Great idea for the candy 

And the signs turned out perfect.

Great western town you have there. It looks like a very friendly town, ours always have wars in the middle of them (can't keep the union/confederates out)

It looks great and thanks for sharing all the pictures

[Giorginetto]

Indeed a very peaceful town unlike how also my western town would look like 

[Clong]

I think its the calm before the storm.  there is a reason the town has a sheriff, 3 deputies and the marshall just showed up so I see trouble coming

Yes, Laura Ingalls Wilder is the author, she wrote stories based on her own childhood. There are eight books about her childhood, and one called Farmer Boy about her husband Almanzo's life growing up in New York State. I highly recommend them! Very wholesome and educational reading. There are also books written by other authors about the life of Laura's daughter, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
