The third and final part of my Bosworth series.
The moment depicted is the charge of the Yorkist cavalry with Richard III. leading. After the setback on his right flank Richard was induced to charge directly against Herny Tudor in person and kill him, to end his claim once and for all. At the head of his cavalry he attacked downhill and he nearly succeeded when killing his standard bearer, but this was the high water mark of the charge and the Yorkist having many casualities had to retreat, where Richard was killed.
The figures are again from MiniArt and therefore I had the same problems with conversions and positioning. Additional the flat riders and horses were a special challenge. All lances had to be replaced, saddles had to be reworked. The flags (Richard III., Henry Tudor, Rhys-ap-Thomas) are all made of paper and are handpainted.
The subtitle of the diorama is the second line of the already in part 2 mentioned quote of Shakespeare's play "Richard III.".
Here can see the final diorama:
