  • exelent job paintinf where did you find all this? i would like to start my own collection

  • I GOT ALL OF MY SUPPLIES ON EBAY

  • Lots of potential, but would recommend additional research for historical accuracy (if you are trying to achieve that). For example, your chapel is in the wrong place, but not sure what look you are going for.

  • YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I PLACED THE CHAPEL THERE BECAUSE OF A SPACE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD TO LEAVE OUT TWO PIECES OF THE KIT FOR THE SAME REASONS. THIS SCENE, WHEN FINISHED, WILL BE ON TWO 8 x 4 BOARDS. I'VE DONE PLENTY OF RESEARCH ON THIS PROJECT AND THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO GET MORE INFO ON, IS THE TERRAIN AROUND THE MISSION. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY PROJECT.

  • Love the diorama and love the music too.  Marty Robbins can't be beat.

  • @Bukfan1 I know. I should try something liek this with Legos.

  • Good job with the video.

  • It's obvious that the figures are only half painted.. They come in blue, red and black. Once finished, I'm sure they'll all match up quite well. Good job.

    P.S. You could've just buit the chapel on a separate board instead of moving it up, a-laTHE ALAMO (2004).

  • thgose men were heroesw they died for their land they were stronger than santana and his army even stronger trhan death and they became a legend

  • A very nice Alamo diorama! I´m looking forward to seeing it again when it´s finished.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Doing an Alamo diorama myself and am using old glory miniatures (25mm) . For ultimate accuracy, I used sketches of the chapel (from 1839 - 1849) from "Alamo: An Illustrated History". I ended up shaving off pieces of the chapel. I was out at the Alamo movie set in Dripping Springs and took some photos, so that helped me (and being from San Antonio also). Would also recommend the following book, "The Illustrated Alamo 1836, a photographic journey" by Mark Lemon.
