    the end of the year after finishing Decision On and the casting material to make one more test of figures in the dioramas ... because they were eaten by my very close friend that exclusively hold the number 120-160 figure that I have decided that it would get. Naturally disappointed.

    what is now the Foto you see. The blue piece is the wall of Fokea created in that very position. There will be positioned vertically as it was probably the real in order to give a depth and escape the viewer's eye from 2 dimensions (it is very tiring). With the help of a very good friend ARCHITECT became a digital representation of the battlefield so as I have in my rymadomyalo and finally decided to give psefdesthisi depth in the battle. on the assumption that the average height was 1.70 (the soldiers), the wall of Fokea with the additions of Greeks in 2 days of 60 cm in height was a moment above the height of a soldier with a rolled up hand .... ie with perripou 2 2.5 meters. The scale height of about 9 cm. Behind the wall will exist Greeks prepared to intervene (in fact so was somewhat Having said constantly change in the first line ........ just tired one body was replaced) outside the wall and left like the look seem The first 2 series ------ shock the Spartans will enter and third which will slaughter as one enapomeinanta persian knight all so far --- 68 ------ figures and the scope of the battle is still mainly .. ........ EMPTY. To the left of dioramaos seem some of the pedestrians Immortals will go to the center of the battle. Those in the number of end arstera ---- and so the tree is 55-60 ----

    Up to now all 68 55 = 123 to 128 .................. not yet put corpses (enough) at the top xenophyte with his staff 8 archers, nightmares , Archer falling from the mountain, some birds and kids and of course the center of slaughter. What do you say; will not fit
    even 32 figures; Eventually the number of figures will be of very much higher than 160

    there is a difficulty in that immortal Persian will use in dioramas ...... All because they come from conversions and much stock, but I hope soon after the report of my collection to be able to present the progress in this big project I

    Thank you very much all those who believe in my work and encouraged me to continue

    Tony,
    I made a small break from this diorama I ------ for some of my friends faintai large --------- with the construction and completion of dioramas Spinalonga - The Island of Tears in 54mm with 52 figures (dimensions 122 * 89 * 80 cm) because PARTICULAR dioramas (Thermopylae) has many modifications to the acquisition last year to move there are commercially available. This process for me that I do not have special knowledge of the tire and was somewhat strenuous. But it is a life work for me and of course will eventually finish.

    thanks again you and everyone who I have been told not to let this effort
