A few months ago I shot at the Abergavenny Vintage Toy and Car Fayre again. As a family we go every year and its one of my favorite events to photograph.
The images above show some of the dioramas that were created by Paul Price, one of the exhibitors at they fayre. He has a particular interest in making dioramas and at the fayre he was displaying his works based on the world wars.
