Great work Stephane, perfect painting and excellent ground.
I love this diorama about one of the first civilization of the world !

Stéphane, as expected after seeing the different figures you have shown in the ‘work in progress’ section, the final diorama is a masterpiece. I love the variety of aspects of the warriors of the different allies of the king of Uruk and the historical introduction you show in your blog/website.

By the way, every time I visit London and the British Museum, I always spend some time marvelling at the Royal Standard of Ur on display there:

Yes, this first civilization isn't very often represented in figurines.
This standard of Ur is a sublime and extraordinary artifact, especially considering that it comes from the first civilization.
Thank you Enrico and Santi for your comments.

Thanks, Chris, for your comment.
The palm trees are homemade, as is the succulent. The soil is coffee grounds.

Wow! I hadn't really noticed how all the different color choice sin your earlier photos fit together, but the end result is beautiful.

Thank you elegantmess for your comment.
Yes, I tried to make simple but harmonious colors.

I love to paint a DBA Sumerian Army. But to many projects at once. So I love to see you work here.

Can you please tell us the brand of the figures?! I didn't recognize.

Yes, we all have lots of projects going on at the same time.
I also love seeing all the amazing creations on this forum.

It is nice to see these minis painted, they look great!

[Xantippos]

Great job! I can't find the WIP post, they are 3d printed then? very realistic everything. Indeed the sumerians are very much forgotten, no matter how important they were!

[stephane42]

Thank you for your comments Howlin and Xantippos.
Xantippos, You'll find the work-in-progress under the name "Some Sumerians".
Thank you all, I can't believe we've passed the 100,000 view mark!
