Now That's a diorama!!

I thought this was the Diorama that Peter Gilder did of Waterloo, which I also saw in the 70s,(1973) but this appears to be another one from the same period. Peter used Hinchcliffe figures in his Diorama, which I saw in Swinton Manchester together with Ray Lamb's original Taisho before casting. There was abrief glimpse of the Waterloo Diorama, or part of it in the film version of Callan. I wonder where it ended up and where it is now? Ray

That's some piece , if I had been wielding that hoover there would have been 21,000 battlefield casualties and 500 left standing.

Ray, Swinton's in Salford. Please don't lump us in with the Mancs! lol

I saw that dio too as a small boy - and have loved figures ever since.

Sorry mate, your right, and seeing it also had the same effect on me too, along with the film which came out the same year. I'm sure t here was a Historex figure of Ray Lamb's Chasseur a Cheval of the Guard there too. Ray
