A Tivoli Fantasy

[Santi Pérez]

the more progress you show the more I love this diorama!...

Great updates! This will look super when all together!

I couldn't agree more with Enrico and Rich's words, sberry. Everything you've done so far looks amazing: the temples, the scenery (the water effect is striking) and the figures. When all these elements are put together, there is no doubt that the result will be superb.

By the way, what are the figures you used, is it possible that some of them are from Strelets or Phersu Miniatures? Most of them are unknown to me.

II can only agree with Santi. Great job so far.

Thank you everybody for the encouragement!

The project is now in the critical stage where work is about 95 % complete – and one big, irreversible mistake can ruin everything…

I suppose many people in our hobby have similar experiences. In my projects, it is frequently the water surface that causes problems. And that’s really annoying, because for a number of reasons, adding the model water is always a late step in the whole project. However, in this diorama here, the water is already finished, without serious incidents (let’s hope that no other catastrophe comes up instead!).

About the Phersu and Strelets figures, you are right dear Santi.
I have used in this project a mix of figures and other parts from a stock that has accumulated over some 20 years:
The temples, as already mentioned, are by Imperial Modellbau.
Amphoras: Crynsminiaturen
Dancers: Germania?
Goats, cat: Noch
Musicians, braziers: Phersu (R.I.P. Leonardo Torricini)
Peasants: Fine Scale Factory
Small altar, statue: Atlantic
Standing female priest with big altar: Nikolai
Standing men: Senators by Strelets
Triumphal procession (Bull + 2 attendants): Germania
Well: Fredericus Rex (R.I.P. Conny Schulte)
… and some other figures which I cannot track anymore.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, sberry. It's amazing how many different figures and manufacturers you have used. The important thing is that they all help to achieve the superb desired end result.

Very nice diorama creation, SBerry,
everything I like is in there: beatiful landscape and interesting recreations of buildings, animated and assembled figures, good topic. Makes me envious, because I only come around figure painting. Some day.... (and retirement is not so far off now)
Waiting eagerly for finished opus
Greetings
Michael
