Three figures salvaged from as ancient diorama that was TOO controversial for the local Military Miniatures Convention judges. It had a lot of violent and sexual figures by Cliff Sanderson. The three figures I took for this smaller diorama are a Monarch Roman Slave Market series and two figures from an un remembered maker. Two Mexican National Guardsmen in red shirts rest with one of the men's "Soldadera" friend. The time is 1862 and they have just won the Battle of Puebla.
Over 40 years ago I built a Wagon Train diorama, It was a bit too large to sit on any of my shelves and sat, over hanging a low shelf in my display room. Last Christmas I heard a crash in that room and found that my Daughter-in-Law's cat had tried to use the diorama as a step. I dismantled the wreckage and put the pieces away.
Recently I repaired and repainted the figures.
I found and painted a group of barrels, boxes and trunks for a barricade. I only have two wagons. Both are conversions of old Britains Ltd Prairie Schooners.
Pioneer woman by Monarch. Possibly a Cliff Sanderson sculpt.
Scratch built woman with Mokarex and Airfix parts.
A fire arrow strikes but help is there.
Both are metal and plastic scratch figures.
Run!!
No time for pants!
Converted Roman Empire family.
