Our 3rd local train diorama show, western
« on: February 10, 2013, 18:21:19 »
Well the planned "models in the movies" did not get enough time so I had to quickly assemble a diorama that I was more prepared for. I had a lot of the western theme already in the trailer and I just had to pull up the track in the garden the morning of the show and I was off to the event.

I showed up at 6:30, was told a carpeted room was for me and I was about to start the set up when the sponsoring toystore owner showed me the actually room for us and one other model train layout. At 7:30 we began and the show opened in 2 hours. I laid the track, water, buildings, trees and mulch. Our 3 boys showed up at 9 and put in all the details. Animals, people, wagons, war, the life of the diorama.

The show opened and we continued to set up slowly. By 10 we were happy with the results, they took off to go look at all the other things. and I knew that I could put other parents kids to work setting up more.

Now this show in this area was quite interesting to say the least. There were many models from movies, the people who made them, people that worked or do work at Lucas films (Lucas films is in the next county over), lots of full costumed star wars, RC full sized robots- R2D2, RC planes, drones, working battle ships, cars etc....  8} 8} 8}

It was very funny and I wish I took my video camera to these event because I found it very amusing to watch a group of storm troopers standing there mesmerized by our diorama  :lol:

here are a few shot my wife took

Very nice, Ras!
And not much time to set things up! At Playmo-exhibtions here people get a day in advance of the opening to set up their displays.
Btw, I assume you're the guy with the baseball-cap and lightgrey sweatshirt? Allways nice to get a glimpse of someone here  ;)

Great diorama Ras,  :love:
Don't know how you manage to set it up in 2 hours - I have a week to set up at Kirkbean and usually still don't manage to do all that I plan to.
