This is the new diorama which I am currently working on, by Valdemar miniatures and sculpted by the the great Mike Blank himself! It was supposed to be a quick "out of the box" project, but as usual I am taking ages to paint. Sometimes I think that I have a too busy life for this hobby
Just what can expected from you! Great painted figures! Looking forward to see more of this! And how you will make the landscape. Or will there just be ice?
Great painted figures! I was looking forward to this. Actually,beside my MING project, I already had painted probably 60 soldiers for the same battle..... I believe that if my time permits , I will complete this diorama too.
A wonderful project !!! Interesting figures! And your painting is fantastic! The faces are masterfully done! The problem with time probably have many of us. You're not alone. Heads up! But even if it is only a short time that we have for our hobby. It still gives us fun and satisfaction and gives us a balance to work and family. So I feel it at any rate.

I even see at least three different thicknesses of steel needle: one for every purpose?
Hello again my dear Mr. Cryns. I'm very glad you like my work.
With regard to the three thickness of the steel wire, as you said there is a purpose for each. The thick gauged sturdy one is for temporary mounting for painting only. The medium gauge is for pinning of the figures to the base and the other one (in this case in the bishop's neck) is for the helm. The latter is flexible so that I can fine tune the position of the rider's head when the scene is finalized.
