Excellent work by using two of the best figure sets ever! I especially like the colorful paintjob on the Persians! Again: FANTASTIC!

Brilliant stuff. Your shields are especially wonderful. I also quite like way you did the quilted tunics of the Persians. Did you use a wash on those?

I love this diorama, it's wonderful.

Well... actually everything is ok but the temple: I'm not a big expert, but I reckon that at that time it shuold be something more that just some columns and ruins

Anyway, as I've already said, it's an excellent job
