32mm Scale Diorama Greifenstein

Posted by T. Dürrschmidt on 19 Mar 2022, 14:16

Hello everybody, this was my contribution for the latest painting competition. I wanted to show some kind of "last stand", in a classic fantasy setting, using an"Empire"-like appearance.

The figs, cannon (Highlands miniatures) and tower is 3d print. I purchased the items online...the gabions are very special items, they were hand crafted by a basket maker. I bought it at the Kulmbach fair some years ago. (not very cheap) .

Here are some pictures I´ve taken today outside....and have to say they look better that the one´s I used for the competition. But it was winter time and dark outside....and time was running low.

Cheers from Bavaria

Thomas

Tremendous! I agree about the outside pics. I always prefer natural sunlight if available.

I agree with both opinions. Despite everything, the high quality of your work could also be seen in the photographs submitted for the competition, Thomas. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
