The Chastity belt diorama in 1:72 scale

[ray caruana]

Hi all. It's been a while since I uploaded some work. I'm now trying my hands on a smaller scale. This is a diorama which I just finished depicting a crusader buying a chastity belt for his not so happy wife before leaving for the Holy land. Critique is most welcome!

I hope this is the smaller scale.
Incredible paintjob on this scene. Awesome.

That must surely be one of the best painted 1/72 scenes I ever have seen.

Thank you all my friends for your kind and encouraging comments.

@uruk-hai: You are too kind.

@cgalves: Yes you're right, chastity belts are considered as myths (see Wikipedia: "According to modern myth the chastity belt was used as an anti-temptation device during the Crusades. When the knight left for the Holy Lands on the Crusades, his Lady would wear a chastity belt to preserve her faithfulness to him. There is no credible evidence that chastity belts existed before the 15th century, more than one hundred years after the last Crusade". The diorama is in fact built around this myth. Thank you for your feedback.

Good paint job, really! Where did the figures come from?

Thanks Hans. The figures are a mix from three different sets by a Danish company called Valdemar miniatures. These are made of resin but they have metal figures too.
