My little diorama with 1/72 scale figures from the fictional battle for the farm.

Nice scene and that's a great looking display case.

Looks like a standard reenactment. Cool little diorama.
Cheers!

Very nice diorama. How about adding a United States flag and color bearer? Are the miniatures Airfax?

I can´t really tell at the distance, but I sense they´re maybe Revell.

The Union Flag Bearer has to relieve himself in the barn... No, You're right, now I see that I forgot one!

The figures and buildings come from Italeri.

1/72, great diorama scale, I think. I remember in the 70s and 80s there were that great diorama sets from ESCI, like that from Italeri today.
I got that with the model of the Pegasus bridge, Hope to find some time for that.
Nice painted figures

A bit small for painting, but not bad for depicting large battles, etc.
Yes, I remember those too; there was one from the Battle of Gettysburg. Today, here in Europe, people pay a lot of money for them, provided the sets are still complete.

That's true, pretty small. But the quality the figures have makes them better to paint. I have seen figures painted great, including the shadows in the cloth and faces, not even takes much time to do.
I am not in that level now, but I'm working in it and I can see progress from figure to figure.
I liked the, can't find the word, let's say " sortiment magazines " of that time. With great Pictures and reports

That's right. Large figures are difficult to paint in such a way that they look attractive:

Great work on the figure. The face is very good, the uniform also. Fantastic what can be done with paint and brushes.
The 1/72 figures are okay, the different companies are more or less on the same level, I guess. The buildings in this sets are very good

Great painting. Can I ask what is the scale and who the manufacturer is. I really like the idea to add the head stone, did it come with the kit.?

 

[John Grant]

The scale is 75 mm/7.5 cm, but unfortunately I don't know how to convert that?

7.5 Centimeters To Inches Converter | 7.5 cm To in Converter

7.5 cm to in (7.5 centimeters to inches) converter. Convert 7.5 Centimeter to Inch with formula, common lengths conversion, conversion tables and more.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you the manufacturer anymore, as it's been a long time since I bought it. And yes, the figure, the gravestone, hat, and saber were included in the kit, but I had to buy the base and grass separately.

 

[marco75]

Maybe it's from Pegaso Models, looks Like theire style

The figures and buildings come from Italeri.

If not mistaken, all Italeri sets included Union Flag Bearers relieving themselves. Leaving it up to the modeler to decide where to place them on the field. One #1 and one #2 Guidons. (wink)

That Artillery Officer is very well done.
Cheers!

 

[John Grant]

Thank you very much!
I would love to paint and design more, but I just don't have the time for everything. Maybe when I retire... But I can also look at lots of beautiful dioramas and figures here, which I always enjoy!

 

[marco75]

That's a problem, so many things wanted to be done and so little time. I never understoud how someone can be bored

Beautiful! You need more Yankees to make it an even fit.
