A nice 1/72 Culloden diorama

Our hobbyfriend Stefan Mayer sent me these photos from his new Culloden diorama. The first bigger one I have seen in 1/72 about this subject. And the first painted Redbox-Figures. He also organised the Highlanders into clans.

I think this looks very good and hope you enjoy it too.

Beside the Redbox and Strelets figures for this campaign I am happy to have the old Ulf Debeller figures in my collection too. So who knows, maybe I can make such a diorama for myself too.

I like the artillery conversions

And here the highland irregular cavalry?

 Now the first photo of the Royal Eccosais

Prussian Towarzysz

The next project we start to work on for Hagen-Miniatures is a unit of Prussian Towarcies in the war of 1807.

See here a painting from Knötel aboout this unit which fought the French in Poland after the desaster of Jena-Auerstaedt up to the peace of Tilsit.

Massimo will take over the sculpting of this unit and here are his first steps of the sculpting

Another Alamo-Diorama

This one here I found some years ago when I visited my old friend John in Wales. There was a village with an empty shop in it. Just in the window were some figure dioramas. Beside this one all 54mm with a lot of Condee-figures etc. A pity that we came too late for seeing the shop opened...

Sorry for the bad photos, this was made with my old analog camera through the window.

And some more impressions from Mainz - some great 1/72 dioramas

Rüdiger Fischers Dresden City around 1730

 

 And his older Fritz and the miller

 This is a nice little one from Klaus Hinderks. German Askaris in WW1. The truck is an old Matchbox car.

 This Egyptian boat was made from matches!!

 Another nice 1/72 submarine. remember the ones I posted one year ago

Indian camp. In the past I have seen a lot of peaceful Indian vignettes and dioramas. Seems to be a popular subject.

Imperial Romans are for sure popular:-)

WW1 Trench warfare with the Germans being a mix of Zvezda, HAT and Airfix. 

They had it under guard - otherwise I would have used it in our Rocroi-diorama!!!

Of  course I have to post Michel's pirate fortress here too:-)

 Ups, more WW1

 And a nice Husite-war vignette.

Rocroi - the last bunch of photos

Just in case it is boring for you the good thing is this will be the last post about the Rocroi diorama.

For the rest, enjoy them:-))

28mm Prussian artillery for 1806-07 from Ingo

You know that I am focused on 1/72 alone. My friend Ingo seems to change to 28mm. A pity as he did great stuff in 1/72 too. A lot of guys changed to 28mm what I can understand as the figures are really good.

On the other hand too expensive for creating huge dioramas and I have already a collection of 70.000 painted 1/72 ones.

But that doesn't stop me from showings Ingo's figures here which will be for sale from the Schillings soon I guess.

In 1/72 we have the HAT artillery - but one things that is missing are the Towarcies (lancers) I think this could be a go for Hagen...
