Congratulations to this exhibition, Erik!

Everything looks fantastic - some of the dios are familiar, but others are not yet posted on the Dreamland. Perhaps now, with the exhibition on the way, there may be the necessary time for taking some pics ...

By the way: The music is great, too!

Great exhibition, Erik; I've been an admirer of your work on KF 1/72 for some years now - interesting to see it 'in the round.' Looks as though you throw a good party too :thumbup:

Great if you are able to produce your own soundtrack. ;-)

Nice to see some dios from long ago. I remember that Sarajevo Murder dio from a back issue of Modell Fan.

Also, there is some stuff I did not know before. You should definitely update your homepage with some good quality photos.

Hi Erik,
Wonderful dio's!!
Tell us more about theexhibition and the reason that it was just there.

I am deeply impressed by your opening Vernisage Erik, it is not only because of your outstanding work. It is also the atmosphere there. Nicely dressed people looking at your work while drinking Champagne. Catering service, fingerfood, great presented and illuminated dioramas in show cases. If I compare this to exhibitions I normally take part at....getting one and a half "Bierzelt"-tables, covered with white paper tablecloth in a 70s school building, defending your dioramas all the time from people touching them, bad illumination....and the catering....Bratwurstsemmeln and Flaschenbier (not bad though)...but self service ;-)

I am a bit jealous. :cry:

first of all I must say ,I wished that all of you could have been at the party too!it was so much fun!
anyway,it happened because fernwärme Wien(thats the company who's in charge for central heating and energy for the city) is an enterprise which does a lot of sponsering for culturural events.
since I played quite a few concerts there with my band(music on the video), they finally found out about my hobby and organized this exhibition.they obviousley got a solid budget,but its great that you still can find some people who are willing to spend some money for us and our hobby.
I have to say they did a perfect job with the presentation(each dio got its own vitrine) and that was a life dream of mine to get that kind of exhibition together that way.the only thing they got upset about ,was the fact,that the dios are not for sale.
I'm so glad about the internet,so we can share our passion alll over the world!
