Miniature World, Part 2.

A few more photos from Miniature World, Vancouver Island.

 Another lovely Napoleonic display.

 A display of castles.

 A collection of WW2 aircraft. There were buttons beside this diorama that played some great sound effects!

 Pioneerville 1870.

 Below, A massive display of vehicles and figures. These are about 54mm scale.

 Old London, if I remember correctly.

 Somewhat more modern London.

 This display was absolutely huge! Thousands of figures and heaps of buildings and extras.

 It also cycled from night to day and looked pretty cool all lit up at night.

One more post of photos from here and it will have photos of a castle that any medieval wargamer would die for.

Miniature World. Vancouver Island.

After spending a couple of weeks with family in Bellingham ( about one and a half hours drive north from Seattle) we headed to Vancouver. While there we went across to Vancouver Island and ended up at the very interesting Miniature World.

85 dioramas that are truly amazing. Some in 54mm scale and others in HO. There are a lot of the good old Airfix figures here!

Here a few shots of just some.

 First up is a bunch of photos  from the Normandy, June 1945 diorama.

Battle of Saratoga 1777.

Western France, August 1918.

Chelsea, June 1815.
News of Napoleons defeat at Waterloo.

 30 Years War. I think.

Germany 1945.

1st Manassas, 1861

This last group depict Vancouver in 1885, then Calgary also in 1885 and then Toronto in 1915.

 Although not all wargames related there is some wonderful model building going on here.

We took over 700 photos at this place and although I will do another post on this place you are getting off very lightly!
