I already posted this once, but since then I have created my own blog, due to alot of people not on facebook. So here is my new blog with some pics of the Alamo Diorama I made, with the help with some friends and ECA miniatures, who painted majority of the miniatures for me. Thanks for looking. tidesofwargaming.blogspot.com Tom Young

Absolutely stunning. Great photographs and clearly a labour of love for you. Well done. Best thing I've seen in ages, and I've seen some stunning things lately.

Are all the photos in your blog of the Blue Moon Alamo and are the figures and artillery by Blue Moon? The photos look great.

My only hope is that it finds a permanent venue worthy of your outstanding effort. Well done!

thank you all for the compliments, I appriciate them all. Disco Joe – Yes all Blue Moon Alamo and the artillery and figures, except for about 400 dead, are all Blue Moon 18mm. There are about 400 dead Musket miniatures dead Mexican and rifles. Marc33594- I designed it to go in my living room, just have to buy a nice sectional couch for it. Never a dull moment when I have guest over. John- The other one is acutally a game that I can put back on the shelf, if your talking about the Minas Tirith game. And my daddy told me if your going to do something dont half.. it. So that is how I am. I wish I could do another diorama in the future, but my wife will not allow any space for it…(not right now, but I am good at getting my way) She hated the coffee table at first, until I dropped the Alamo in it. Cheers, Tom

Wow, I finished the thing and now I want to make something else…I like gaming, but wish I had more room to make another project like I just finished.
