Germanicus in Germany

[sberry]

A diorama of the Varus battle is a sort of a must for a Romans freak. So I felt compelled to do one, too – in a certain way. Actually, it is the battlefield with the unburied casualties, six years later rediscovered by Roman scouts. Don’t ask me why I came up with such a bizarre idea. The best explanation I can offer is that I was inspired by the Roman skeletons of Zvezda’s Cursed Legion ...

Nice dio! Perhaps slightly inspired by 'The Eagle'?

[Maurice]

Good diorama, well researched. Now do one with our Germanic heroic ancestors driving these invading Roman bastards back across the Rhine

While we were building roads, you were still painting your face blue, Mau

That's Scotland, silly

[Francesco Giova]

I know, I know, Mau, I was joking , but someone else apparently was not.

[Andreas]

That's impressively creative work. How large ist this dio in total?

this 'we-built-monuments-while-your-ancestors-were-still-shitting-behind-the-trees'

to start with, I never said anything so coarse. You're new here so you can not know that me and Mau always joke on this Roman-Germanic propaganda. But you were not joking at all. Or if you were, perhaps you should reformulate your "irony". Or think again about what can grow behind "an army that was good in fighting"...

End of discusion, back to the topic please

A nice dio, and funny what you did with the dead tree Stephan

[Paul]

It is a nice dio...
The caeser Undead seem to have a lot of uses...why did they stop the run on that set??

[Peter]

Very nice dio indeed

Thanks guys!

@ ColeF: Inspiration by "The Eagle" - quite unlikely, since I did not see that movie yet. Germany is a sort of third world country in that respect, we always have to wait forever for new movies from abroad.

@ Zedalist: It’s a base plate of about 40 x 60 cm. I often plan to make a rather small, vignette-like project, but these things somehow get out of control and become larger in the end. The figures have their own life, no question.

@ Paul: Why did they discontinue the set? Answer 1: There are not enough guys like Old Wolf and me, who buy such strange stuff. Answer 2: It seems to be a general policy of Caesar to stop production of a good set after quite a short time, have no idea why.
