Reopening of the Bavarian armymuseum

After several years of renovation the museum reopened the figure exhibition again.

My favorite there is the flat figure diorama of Leuthen. 35 years ago I have seen it for the first time and maybe it is nostalgic thinking, but I think it is still one of the best I have seen.

I think it would be an improvement to add a plate or a shemata drawing explaining which units are there to see. When I have too much time, I will try to make one:-)

New photos from the Fröschwiler Project

 Wolfgang now showed the next photos of the diorama. In the meantime the diorama is finished and will be on show in a museum in Fröschwiler itself very soon.









If you want to see the whole series of photos, take a look here.


And if you want to support us creating more such dioramas, consider to buy some figures in our shop at https://www.black-watch-miniatures.de/ All the profit from selling goes into new projects. 

The next diorama in this line will be the Prussian charge on the Danish trenches at Düppel 1864.

Russian Dragoons 1813-1814

 I have asked Darek to sculpt me a range of Russian Dragoons for my 1813 project. See the photos, in my eyes a very good result.

Schmitty's collection

 My mate Schmitty with whom I create the anual diorama projects for over 20 years now has a very big advantage over me - space!!

While I have a small room (the rest of the house occupied by my wife an the next generation), he has a very big floor under the roof. While my figures are stored away in boxes, he can show what he has.


I envy him.... Here some photos I took
