WIP "Give Them Cold Steel" - 54mm Diorama

Discussion in 'vBench (Works in Progress)' started by Christosjager, Nov 4, 2011.

    I like very much the Hellenic history that's why a lot of my creations (scratch mostly) are Hellenic subjects.
    This time I decide to create a big diorama from the American history and specifically from the American civil war. I inspired from a Don Troiani's painting (two actually) about the battle of Gettysburg and specific General Armistead's Virginians epic march towards Union lines.
    All miniatures will be scratchbuild and I estimate that the number of them will be about 15.
    Greece is falling down, politicians stinks but thank God we have this hobby to keep our mind clear and creative.
    Here are the first pics from the scenic base. I build stone by stone a stonewall based on pics that I found on internet.
    Soon more to come,
    greetings,
    Christos

    To help the Greek economy you could get a job doing walling.;) Should be very impressive.
