Battle of Bouvines and Vietnam Apocalypse
« on: May 09, 2016, 02:06:09 »
While googling in pursuit of Tiermann's recent query regarding the Templeuve knight, I came across many great diorama photos. Here are just two: a Vietnam extravaganza and a recreation of the Battle of Bouvines:

Wow, for the Vietnam one.. Reminded me of China Beach first.. then Rambo II...

The other one is very impressive too, the sheer numbers. And space (I am sooo jealous).

Yes I love  big dioramas like those that make me feel all sane and under control in comparison.   ;D

My thoughts EXACTLY!!!!

To say I'm impressed would be an understatement on the Vietnam diorama
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

I need to bring it to National Playmographic's attention.

If you want to see a MASSIVE dio...well I'll make a new thread. Blew my mind.

I love the waterway in the first one.
I feel the second one should have more cows in it though.

Thanks to this, I've had the song "Paint it Black" stuck in my head for days now.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
