This was my contribution for "soldiers and civilians". Thanks for voting!
The groundwork is not to my usual standards. It is only a temporary scene. I used corkpowder and some other flocking material to create this. I want to save the tents, wagons and figures for a later, bigger diorama about a hussite camp in the 1430´s. So the figures "sink" a bit into the ground.
The figures, tents, cannon and wagons were sculpted and casted by Frank Germershaus. The soldier with green jacket is from Frank Ziegler´s Swiss infantry of the Burgundian wars. I added a self-made "wooden bowl" of green stuff. Now I am a sculptor....
The Czechs called the cannon you can see on the left side "houfnice"....this is the origin of our modern word "howitzer" or in German "Haubitze".
Best regards
