Once finished, those winged hussars look stunning, Thomas. Each one is a masterpiece in itself. Great work!

Santi.

Wonderful painting and great additions to these beautiful figures. They are becoming a very colorful and impressive troop.

Hello!

As already stated some groundwork has to be done. For this I used Noch static grass (first time done with an electric grass applicator by MIG, one to three layers of grass), Faller turf, some iceland moss (base for little bushes), yellow flowers by Woodland scenics. To bring in more variety I drybrushed over all with some colours.



After this treatment the stream looks like this:



Now it's time to put the riders on their horses.

May I present the finished "Jan Zamoyskis Crown Hussar Banner":





I'm very satisfied with the result after all the work I put in the creation so far, it really meets my expectations.

Next step: creating their enemies ...

Those Polish winged hussars look magnificent, as does the landscape, Thomas. I'm sure their enemies will look just as fantastic. In the end, the diorama is undoubtedly going to be a masterpiece.

Santi.

[huib]

Wow! That's a charge!

[MABO]

[Iceman1964]
