You can blame my reading the Sienkiewicz Trilogy at an impressionable age. :-D Looking forward to seeing further progress and (eventually) the finished work!

In my humble opinion, Thomas, the river water now has all the appearance of real running water. Great work! :drool: :drool: :drool:

Hello!

As the next step I worked on the path across the bridge and the area behind it. A few stones as well some gravel on the path improved the overall picture extremely. Materials and colours were the same as on the riverbed, additionally a sandy brown drybrushed on the path.

Image

Then it was time for something green around the riverbed. Faller turf and afterwards some green colour variations with a brush did the job well and gives a quite realistic look.

Hi Krugi,
very interesting your "work in progress". Very well taught - even with the failed experiment, or just because.
I have no idea where there is a clue for "Poles vs Swedes", but I definitely adored reading Sinkievics "With fire and sword", and the result will be great I'm sure. Actually, when I think of it, there is one episode where the Poles fight the Cossack and Tartar and the latter seek cover in a kind of water-way and marsh water system.
You could add colourfull Tartars to the Dio.

Greetings
Michael

Hello!

Now it's time for the first figures or better said horses. Wonderful beasts by Zvezda, but for a cavalry charge unfortunately too few poses.

Image

Therefore some conversions by bending or cutting off and glueing on of the legs. Too much work is not necessary, as most of it can't be seen at the end. Small differences can make interesting effects.

Image

Image

Some testing with the converted horses had to be done, to ensure that the scene really works. The holes in the ground now make sense.

Image

Image

The fine tuning of the horses still have to be done.

I totally agree with Enrico's opinion, Thomas. With the detailed explanation of the progress of your project and the complete photo reports you manage to hook us and make us want to see more and more. Good job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
