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!

Battle of Sempach 1386

 The battle of Sempach was the decisive battle in the war of independce of the Swiss from Austria.

This time I have photos from Frank Velte, a flat figure diorama about this fight. A good colourful army, no "dark ages".

Battle of Cowpens

 is the title our Hobbyfriend Stephan gave his latest work.

I remember the time, when I had my own hobbyroom with a plate of 2x3 meters for creating such dioramas too. When the children grew up, they took over the room - and they are still there....


See all the new HAT sets appearing there. The cavalry is a nice touch. I hope for the next one with a lot of Hessians:-)
