Miniatures Morris Island Diorama

[J.H. Moose]

Put this little 1/32 scale diorama together using an old Verlinden kit and a kitbashed sandbag gun battery. It's meant to depict one of the 100-pounder Parrott guns emplaced on Morris Island that were involved in the bombardment of Charleston in the latter stages of the war, I would've made the famous Swamp Angel yet I only had a 100 pounder rather than a 200.

Apart from the realistic depiction of this gun emplacement, also really like the attention given to detail (e.g. the mud stains shown on the artillery sergeant's lower coat, trousers and shoes). Impressive work!

Very nice. I like the little details the best. You did an excellent job of highlighting the gun gun and the little details like a bit of rust around some bolts and nuts add a lot of realism, in my opinion.

Great work and amazing attention to detail. I like the last picture showing Charleston in the distance, it really sets it off.

Love it! This is an example that in MY opinion, proves Bob Ross wrong. He was famously quoted as saying "talent is a pursued interest,,,anything your willing to practice, you can do". Well I could not do this lol regardless of how much a practiced! Fantastic job,,,,
