Finally I was able to put the Tacna diorama on display last week at the 5th Doramica

... and I recognised, I painted too much figures for it. This diorama is 4 x1,7 meters and you need empty space to show the movement. So here we see somewhere between 1300 and 1600 figures on display.

The Chilenians try to turn the left flank of the Peruvians and Bolivians. The Bolivian regiment Sucre (yellow uniforms) refused to retreat - the result was 75% casualties in this unit. And casualty means dead as the took no prisoners in the war.

Beside around 100 old ACW plastics, which I painted in the past, all the other are 3D-printed figures.  Groundwork was very easy as in the Atacama dessert (at least in this part) grows nothing....

It wasn't the best light in the room I had at this time, but I hope you can recognize the details.

Again flats - This time Borodino

 A week ago, I had the chance to have a short holiday in Dresden with friends. We visited the museum of the Bundeswehr, the Fortress Königstein and the "Karl May" Museum with an interesting museum about Native American people.

On show in the Museum of the Bundeswehr was this Diorama of Borodino. Very good made!
