This is a small vignete that I offered to my wife.

The figure is from Preiser at 1/50, the base, the bridge and the fish were scrachbuilt.

The water is from Woodland scenics

The ground cover and all the flowers are from West Garage Models.

I Hope you like it

Well done!

One of my next projects will be a japanese garden, so it's nice to see something similar.

Hi Joao,

First of all, welcome to our community !

Very nice job. It is original, for sure.

But you've built also the Pz.II in a french town. It is very nice as well.

Regards

Giovanni

Hey Joao, such magnificent detail in so small a scale. A woderful delite to look at. And a nice change from military. Put's my mind to wandering in different directions for the vignnets I do. Splended work.

Joao,

Fantastic Japanese garden - I wish I was there. Certainly your wife loves it!

Your street lamps - very nice. Those are a kit you offer?

Lost - that diorama is great! And I understand why your Well is still a best seller.

westgaragemodels.com, you started it in 2009?

Thank you all for the kind comments. Yes my wife loved it. And it was a wonderfull break from olive drab and panzer grey

Yes I've started producing original pieces in 2009 under the name of GEM - Garage Exclusive Models. This year I've changed the name, blogs and mail. It was a bit of a refresh, still have the same cathalogue though, and now I'm increasing it.

I will continue to post new dios has they come. Now i'm working on one in 1/72 but it has a square metter. It will take a while to finish. Meanwhile I will post some of the finished ones.
