Benno's Figures Forum

Hallo, friends!
I’m glad to show my largest project at this moment. Initially, I planned to make only tavern interior and small composition near entrance. Then I decided to add couple buildings as background, and small scenery evolved into fragment of medieval town. Wide range of Valdemar’s figures allows recreating many plots of medieval life. I used several kits about saloon life, excellent kit with mobile bakery and figures from other kits. Animals and birds are necessary elements of city life. They make alive and finished atmosphere. Cat and birds on the roof was made by me and I take dogs from Valdemar kits. Some figures near tavern door were painted by Valentina Kostina. And It was hard to inscribe the other master’s figures in own work successfully.

Awesome work. Lovely style, especially the lighting effects, nice and cinsistent work on the figures, good selection and use of figures.

Love the cat climbing the roof to get at the pidgeons, and the dog in tne tavern.

Thank you for such excellent pictures.

An autentic masterpiece, indeed.
All scenes tell us something and they are each other perfectly relations.
The job of lights effects is perfect. The atmosphere in the tabern need a perfect control of colours. How time are you work in this wonderful diorama?
I love it, respect.

Absolutely super diorama. The painting ,composition , figures and believable story are all top class. A league of its own in my opinion.

Well done.
