ACW confederate camp

[Pieter]

Hi everyone;

Thanxzzz!!! For all the kind responses to my previous two posts...
Felt like a warm welcome to the forum!
I will sign in for both 'FIGZ' and probably 'ROAD TO ARNHEM' somewhere this weekend..

For now... here are some pics of yet another little ACW diorama;

Cool combination of old sets!

[Peter]

This looks really fantastic! I hope I can see this at FIGZ!

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Very cool. Nice to see those classic figs in a new context.

It took a while before I recognized the Atlantic figure. Had a break from figures 1975-84 so I missed their output. The other figures are classics for me! And I am quite fond of Airfix' old condederates. Great use, nice di, and a warm welcome to the groupbuild!

Very nice, I like the almost monochromatic appearance of the landscape.

Great job!

Groundwork and wood effects are amazing. I'm glad you joined this forum.

I can't add too much more than what's already here. The groundwork, the muted colors, the mix of figures...all top-notch. It's fortunate that we have your work on display here!

Hallo Pieter,
welcome to the forum,
An excellent job and really awesome. It looks very impressive in figures, terrain and painting.
You have brought that scene to life, well done.
Thanks for showing!
Greetings

Dear Pieter,

My compliments for your work. Good to see these old figures again.
And I like a dio situated in a recently harvested cornfield, like this one.

The donkey:

I am too young for this donkey. When I was old enough to buy it with my first money, it was out of production for many years already. Some older boys gave this donkey to me. I never knew if it was a zebra from the Airfix Zoo set or a donkey from the Airfix Farm animal set since one of these older boys had painted stripes on it. Finally you make clear to me that it really is a donkey.

Dear Mr. Cryns.

Thank you for your compliments!
I am a great admirer of your work so I am proud you commented.

About the airfix donkey/zebra;

Its the supposedly zebra from the Airfix tarzan figures set.
My very first set of Airfix-figures ever actually... The kit contains several wild animals including a zebra.
I have never looked upon this figure as being a zebra though. Even as a kid it always looked like a sturdy little donkey to me... The kind of donkey that might pull a small cart;
and thats how, after all these long years, it ended up in a confederate camp...

Kind regards. Pieter
