Spanish Mission Church Texas 1879

Now that the landscaping is almost complete, I took some test images with a background ...

[Peter]

The groundwork looks fantastic and I like the background.

I cannot put it into English words very well.
I think your church is beautiful, absolutely harmonious landscape design with a beautiful background.
Congratulations.

The groundwork looks almost real.

[Gardefar]

Absolutely beautiful. So well done. Such talent!!

[Santi Pérez]

Another top nocht creation from you, Egbert. The church building alone is absolutely amazing, so it's hard to imagine how it will look when you add your wonderful converted figures to it.

Best regards, my friend.

Santi.

[despertaferro]

I admire so much people who are able to build such wonderful models out of nothing ...

My deepest respect ...!

Me, all I can do is paint ...

[Egbert]

Thank you my friends for your great comments!

Below are some new pictures of the progress of the work.

John Wayne style hats for the US-cavalrymen





... the last details were added to the Apache and then primed to check whether the transitions still need to be reworked.

[MABO]

Amazing work on the details!

[C M Dodson]

Egbert, you are ascending to genius level.

Brilliant stuff.

Greetings Jürgen

[molder]

Great job!

Its individual elements look realistic, the background makes it even more complete.

P.S. : Although this is not a fantasy diorama theme, I really liked it.

[Egbert]

Hello, dear friends,
unfortunately, in the last few months I haven't had much time to look after our hobby.

At the moment I am building the US cavalrymen.
First with the kneeling shooters in front of and in the carriage.





After I had prepared, modeled or converted the individual parts, such as hats, heads, upper bodies, legs, weapons and accessories, I sent everything to our collector friend
Sascha and Ilona from DioHistory.
Sascha then molded and reproduced the parts for me.



















From these individual parts I then built the various poses and postures of the required US cavalrymen.

[C M Dodson]

Brilliant work Egbert.

Your conversion king crown is indisputable.

Best wishes,

Chris

If I see the pose of all the guy, I think there will be a lot of trouble in the final Dio.

Somehow a lot of the feet, leg combination remind me very strong to Preiser WWII German hard plastic sets.

The headgear is TOP modeled!
