Small Scale Battery Forge

[Kurt G]

This is another and I'm pretty sure my last Altoids vignette. The figures are by Perry and are about 1 1/8" tall ( about 1/64th scale). Epoxy putty and Celluclay used for ground work. Painted in acrylics.I have enough Perry figures left to do two more projects , but the bases will need to be bigger than an Altoids box.

Beautiful work. I love the way you've put together the figures with the ground work and background.

In case someone's unfamiliar with the subject, here's a big one on display at the Chickamauga NMP visitor center.

Here's a video demonstration of a traveling forge, using a beautiful replica:

A while back, I had located a 1/16th scale forge by Guns of History and had thought about ordering it. Kurt's 1/64th diorama gives me ideas...

Well done! I really like how you used the background to really establish the setting. Nice job.

Great painting and display.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, just had a quick look, how about a metal pencil case from Walmart.

I was thinking this Guns of History 1/16th scale piece could be used to create a diorama on the lines of your smaller one. Not sure whether there would be figures to go with it -- and I doubt whether my sculpting skills would be up to it!

There isn't much out there anymore in 1/16th (120MM) . I had considered converting a Verlinden soldier but they went out of business before I got one .

I think the background adds so much to your diorama. It really sets it off.
Very well done.
