Geschichte in Miniaturen

This very well modelled, painted and executed diorama seems to be based on the painting, ‘ Black Watch at bay’ by William Barnes Wollen. I personally like the ‘dusty’ look of the figures. There is a real feel to the action on display in my opinion. His Grace, Sir Thomas and Gordon are lovely too! Be...

The rebuilt building is nearly ready to go apart from some touch ups revealed by the pictures. I have commenced the lower section which will sit in the sand as per the original. https://i.postimg.cc/k5VpSdsy/572-BC117-A747-40-CB-B950-F51-C909-CCA44.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1X0TzcBh/0-F907-E0-F-9-AE6...

Best wishes,

Confederate Divisional commanders and ADC’s I have been cutting, swapping and chopping and am quite pleased with the results so far. My painting ability is nothing compared to some on the forum but I think they convey a good image and as a bonus are much easier than Highlanders! https://i.postimg.cc...
