A few more shots of the Donovan Wing of the National Museum.

This is primarily the "Egyptian Wing" with one wall dedicated to South America...

That turned out real nice Lance. Fantastic to see you populating your diorama with so many custom figures too. That wood/glass display case on the back wall is very cool - and the other in-scale artifacts are well chosen. In can almost imagine Marcus getting lost in there somewhere :) Oh - and great little nod in the naming of your museum wing as well...

I'm blown away by the quality and diversity of the entries. The construction and custom work on display is phenomenal!!

Even my vocabulary has been expanded. I've been saying "bifurcate" to myself all weekend ;)

A mishap on my end has kept me from getting any more photos in by the deadline, so I guess my entry stands as is. I'll be sure to share the rest via another thread as soon as I can!

I might as well show mine. I know it's too late for the entry and really I don't mind that, just to share with you all..

Cool diorama and custom figures, Lance. I like that use of the long display cabinet - looks like a 1/12 dolls house shop counter, but is perfect for a museum display in this scale.

This looks really cool. Very nice backdrop, excellent props and environment pieces. The pic is a little out of focus, so the troll is a little hard to make out, but it looks pretty spiffy.

Take more pics when you can!!

Yep, that's exactly right! Usually those cabinets go for about $20 or so on ebay, but this one only set me back about $6. I'm glad I waited.

I briefly considered painting it to match the other pedestals in the room, but decided the existing look with the more realistic staining was better.

Sorry for the out of focus and badly lit pic.

Here's more that are clearer. (I haven't used a tripod so they aren't that good also, but at least I moved it to brighter location)

Thank you for your comment.

The troll is actually a World of Warcraft figure. They're about the same scale so I improvised :D. Also, he didn't come with a sword, it was added in from a keychain.

Good luck with your surgery, Hemble, and thanks for creating such a cool contest and generously donating your amazing work!

A round of applause for Hemble!

I actually feel terribly guilty, since I absolutely do not deserve to win anything.

I am extremely grateful of all the votes and I am genuinely humbled by the appreciation, but all the other entries in this competition are incredibly gorgeous projects that were made BY HAND by the talent, imagination and hard work of the participants.

Compared to that, I did nothing.
