Yeah, but you can't play with it.  :lol:

It is beautiful. My favorite line: "over 900 hand-sewn mealie bags."

THAT is insane.

Oyeh. I'd say "I don't know about $12,000 good" but how long does it take to hand-stitch that many 1/72 mealie bags?

Maybe I'm in the wrong business.

I wouldn't say that. Those litte hand sewn frilly shirts you whip together for your little dashing swashbucklers are quite fetching.

Not sure but is 1,200 for postage not a bit stiff ? Perhaps a bit on the higher side? :?:

The diorama is cute though :)

The diorama uses a few boxes of Esci infantry and some scratchbuilt buildings.  

Maybe he does not want to sell it just get himself recognised and as an advert for construction of other projects?

Lovely terrain but the figures are plastic 1/72 Esci which is a bit steep :D
