2026 = 500 years battle of Mohac

Our Hungarian hobbyfriends created a diorama of a lesser known battle in European history. But one which is very important for it's history - the battle of  Mohács 1526.

To learn more about the battle, simply take a look at Wikipedia. Three years later the Ottomans stand before the walls of Vienna for the first time.

Comming back to the diorama, which is done in the same style as our own projects of the last 27 years (what? I am getting old....)

See the photos on his own blog here. And just as a teaser, here some photos I copied from it.

The shields of the Christian troops are impressing and when I have it right in mind, some of the Ottoman Spahis are bing sculpted by Zsolt.

Our hobbyfriend Frank Velte visited the war museum in Athen...

 ... and sent me these photos of byzantene soldiers. 

I guess it is 9th to 11th century - another nice idea for a figure project.

SYW Austrian infantry

 My mate Patrick is working on a diorama of the battle of Kolin, I am still occupied with the combat at Korbitz and in the past few month, I have read a lot of books about the war of the Austrian succession in Italy and Bavaria. 

So it was logical, we go for Austrians (which I can also use as Bavarians:-)) Here the photos of the first poses, some more to follow to complete marching, standing, advancing and firing units.
