1/9 th scale, whole Diorama is 74"x74" over 450 hours to complete. This took me around 6 months to complete......Over 4000 shingles hand glued. The rocks, soil, twigs all came from Incline Village Nevada where the Ranch house stands. The barrels are from Toys R US.. the game barrel of monkeys. The figures were released in 1966, after Pernell Roberts left the show in order as not to lose interest of the TV show. They cost $300.00.....After painting the figures I knew I had to build the house, so we took a vacation to Lake Tahoe, 9 hour drive from my home in Los Angeles . and I measured the house and down scaled it to 1/9 scale. I got 2 -5-gal buckets full of dirt, rocks,twigs.and sand. I use dollhouse scale bed post for the rocking chair, the runners are Balsa Wood . everything is hand made but flower pots, door knocker.
