A remarkable artist
Louys of Monte-Cristo just discovered the outstanding dioramen war scenes of a German artist.
And I looked through the Battle of Leuthen diorama. It appears that he used plastic 1:72 figures, some with some heavy conversions, like the Airfix American Revolution British infantryman who is running with the musket up under his chin converted into a Prussian fusilier. This guy is good!
I've seen this site before (in fact I have it listed in my "favourites"). There are some fantastic figures in those diaramas, and the terrain is just brilliant.
Now that is a remarkable diorama. It's like a three-dimensional painting.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!

Thanks for the site, it is delightful...
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Did you notice in the Leuthen series that the artist depicted Prussian infantry in square (karre) against a cavalry attack? Interesting.
