The death of Major Peirson

[Gus]

Hi guys!

I show you the last diorama made by Antonio Zapatero and me. It has won a gold medal at the Euromilitaire Contest 2015.

I really hope you enjoy it.

Well deserved.

Well of course, since you didn't indicate the scale. . . I'm
not sure just what I am looking at, regarding these beautiful
photographs. However, that aside, this incredible piece,
this vignette/diorama, for me as I see it, is another
excellent example of how this hobby, in the hands of a true
artist, can be raised to the point of becoming a "work of art"
. . . This piece belongs in a museum. Just incredible. . . A work of art!

Rick, the size is 75mm, per a post I saw yesterday on Facebook. This depicts a scene from the Battle of Jersey in 1781 (I think) that was immortalized in an epic painting (look up Battle of Jersey on Wikipedia for more info). Zapatero and Gil have captured a portion of the painting in spectacular fashion. Outstanding work!!

Hi Gus,
Very well done, an outstanding piece of modelling by you and Antonio and a well deserved winner.
cheers
Richie

Here you go Rick.

A perfect rendition of the centre piece of the original painting.
Jaw-droppingly brilliant.

Cheers,

Outstanding diorama. If it did not win Best of Show, it should have.

This was my favourite stand out piece at Euro,I looked at it for ages and took quite a few photos of it,I just loved everything about it,BOS for me

 

[ChaosCossack]

Of all the pics I saw of the show entries... this one jumped out and slapped me in the face. EXQUISITE!!!!!! PERFECT!!!! Everything a diorama should be. To hear it wasn't BOS was a surprise.

No question for the gold... maybe even two.

Bravo *standing ovation* well done

A masterpiece that could well have been the BOS.
In addition I am lucky to have the two authors as friends

This is such a stunning piece, brilliantly executed, well deserving its Gold award, and would have been a very popular BOS. I am somewhat dismayed by some of the judging this year........and I have no vested interest

Its the same every year Alan i'm affraid,people were disscusing it as usual on sun,no different from other years i've been.
In 2013 i saw the Alexandros Bust of Napoleon recieve NOTHING and yet it was beautifully painted,the artist brought it back this year and was awarded a Bronze,Whats that all about !
