| Rendezvous would last maybe a couple weeks. Then everyone packed up and went back where they came from. The trappers sought out untapped areas for beaver and other critters who's hides fetched top dollar in St. Louis. |

It took a long time to gather and make everything for this diorama. The covered wagon is an old Best of the West rig with a
custom made cover. The chuck wagon was found on ebay, no manufacturer's name on it, anywhere. I had to customize it
as well and supply the cupboard. For the most part, the figures are 21st Century with a couple DogSoldier figures and the
one Dragon female figure. I used a collection of different heads and customized a few with Sculpey. Finally I made the tipi.
It's a scale 16 foot tipi and I hand painted the design on material I found at Wal-Mart, years ago. - CK2
