Thank you for the wonderful work, the information and the remembrance of a country that has been betrayed and ravaged more than once.
Please, please reply in public or to me where you got the lantern. I need a number of them. Thank you.

P.s. When I needed a straw pile, I used three different colors of thread, so when I washed them, they would be just a little un-uniform.

From the very first posts regarding this diorama, we have all been drawn to it, wanting more and more. Ever anxious for the next picture, the next post, the next surprise that Kevin had to offer us. And now its finished. And can i just say WOW!! This is truely an amazing work of art. The detail and vision of this piece is one that is rarely seen. I believe that it is truely a prize winning diorama.
I myself had the great pleasure of seeing the diorama in person a few weekends ago. And i would like to let all of you know, as great as the pictures are, they do not do the piece justice. The camera definately does not capture the full effect of the diorama. I was in awe. Excellent work Kevin. I love ya and am very proud of you.

Again thanks guys for the comments and kind words. Rereading the article I realized I was sorta vague with some of the steps during the building of this. If any one has any questions please feel free to ask, and I will be happy to explain in greater detail. Cheers and thanks again Kevin
