Sculpting and diorama art at their best. An episode from the 1859 war, I guess. I would very much like to see some note s on history and sources (pictorial especially) given more often when presenting splendid work like that. IMO, this would draw attention to a lot of historical events...

John, fantastic job, I am following your progress regularly though I rarely post. I find it very inspiring and admire your enthusiasm. I wished I had your level of craftmanship. How do you fix the figurines to the ground when their ultimate position has been decided upon?

Biography, History, and Costume Style Dave, I am not saying this is a bad figure - quite on the contrary. This is to make myself clear, sorry if anything should not have been put in the correct words or may sound too harsh since English is not my first language. I did not know anything...

Costume Thanks for the review. If L'Ollonais was born in 1635, and the figure depicts a man at age, say, 25-30, this would be around 1660-1665. For that date, he is wearing a pretty old-fashioned costume. I would date his attire rather in the 1640s. This is one thing rarely paid attention...

Very nice figures But why 'English Civil War'? There was no English Civil War in 1678 but the style of costume is appropriate for the year. Furthermore, this seems to be a continental (Dutch, Swedish, Brandenburg?) cavalry trooper rather than an English officer. I like Restauration Period...

Sergey, what I was trying to say is that Historex and Airfix horses are NOT to 1/32 scale, but 1/30th or even larger. Even so, in comparison to the riders many horses are too large. As opposed to common believe and as historical sources prove, cuirassier horses, e.g., were much smaller than they...

Awsome conversion work, as well the Old West figurines as the Prussian uhlans. There is one thing I cannot understand. Why are Airfix and Historex horses/ figurines referred to as 'true 54 mm scale'? In my opinion they are not. Historex figurines measure up to 60 mm, which would be 1,92 m in...

Wspaniała figurka. Uwielbiam tę epokę historyczną. Jest to jedna z najlepszych miniatur na ten temat. Choć nie zbieram figurek w większych skalach zrobiłbym wyjątek gdyby można było kupić ten model.

So ein Pech, daß dieses Ding hierzulande nicht auf Ausstellungen gezeigt werden kann.

Duro Sébastien, vous pouvez acheter du duro dans tous les magazins Games Workshop. Moi, j'ai les meilleurs résultats en utilisant un mélange du duro et du magic sculpt. Vous pouvez utiliser d'autres mélanges comme avec du miliput ou du AB.

Sweet idea and wonderful execution.

Mike, if you mean a kitten by kitty, in Russian this should read: Убийцы кошки Убийца кошки Кати would imply that someone kills a girl by the name of Ekaterina (Katya - Kate), if that's what you want to say. Regards, Andreas

Very imaginative setting and combination of different figures. Kasiu, dioramka mi się podoba. Drozd po angielsku - to "thrush". ;) Witam z Lipska, Andreas

Thanks a lot to all. Szymonie, właśnie, ogony zostały zrobione z drutu elekrycznego (electric fuse). I will add a few more photos that give you an impression of the conversion work that went into the figures. The riders fit ill onto the horses, so horses and greatcoats had to be reworked to...

Dziękuję Ci Kasiu, ja także jestem wielkim fanem Tolkiena. :)

Thanks all for your nice comments. I am glad you like it. Meanwhile, a friend of mine put his photos of the diorama through the photoshop (thanks Frank Becker!). I'd like to show you his interpretation.

Hello girls and guys, after having been around on pF for a while I would like to show you one of my models. It's a small diorama I finished lately. Usually, I am into historical figurines, but I liked the GW Lord of the Rings figures so much that I decided to use them for a diorama. This was my...

Thist must be the best painted piece of poultry I ever saw in the scale. Lovely.

What size is the figurine? Cannot quite figure out the scale. lol Excellent idea, was about time to do a project like this.

Just use the sharpest of scalpel blades and go very smoothly. Very nice work, showing the potential of the much underrated small scall figurines. Also brilliant photos for this scale.
