Une Soiree Chez la Comtesse (Restored)

Here is another charming diorama from Pilpat's Flickr page. In English it reads: An Evening at the Countess'

This was a simple restoration in that I merely repaired some print damage, adjusted/restored color and replaced the floor with something with more visual impact, namely, a Persian rug.

It took about an hour to build.

if anyone wants the file for this model, PM me.

Very nice. Would make a really purty shadowbox with a frame around it.

A wonderful little diorama. I think I see Colonel Mustard on his way to the library with a lead pipe.

Many thanks for the kind comments. I have Sortie d'Ecole to finish and post, then, I'll take a break for awhile and work on some other models in a different medium.

I love to see yours incredibles restorations because the original are a very cheap print so the transformation is spectacular.
