Very nice work. I especially like the Mayan pictures. One of these days I will learn how to do the water fountain like you have with the streams of splashing water and ripples that make it look very real. Jeff

Fantastic dioramas. No way are these Airfix conversions. No way. I recall a few years ago a specialist manufacturer, maybe in Russia, released a series of unusual subjects in 20mm resin. I think one series was of Inuit.

You mean like the Romans being from "Nicolai"'s Ancient Life sets, which are listed on the same site: link ??? Allen

Thank's Allen and Connard Sage, I knew I had seen them before but I just could not place them. ? TMP link TMP link ? So much for being Airfix convertions. Robert Henry

Well, as mentioned, there is a familiar WWI British figure there in the second link. But these are by no means all Airfix convertions. Allen

I think I recognise two Airfix Africa Korps figures in the third link as well.Amazing what you can do witha bit putty to disguise the original. Really good pictures, thanks for posting them.
