[Helveticum]

Hi All
First of all, my best gratulation to the deserved winner

Here my entry, i've taken the idea of a 54mm dio. (see scan here under)


The figures are:
Zulu's: ITALERI, 2 of them slightly modified
Brits: One original ITALERI, crawling wounded is a mix 0f 5 different figures, kneeling wounded mix of 3 figures.
Scenery: all selfmade.





















ENJOY!

Alex

[montecristo]

All great entries but this was my favourite.

I found the use of the Brit holding up his Martin Henry especially ingenious since the pose is next to useless in any other context.

Very good work, a scene full of motion and emotion!

Hey Alex,

Great work I really liked this entry of yours, if only I didn't have to compete against you I would have voted for this

A lot of drama can be put into small scenes such as this one and it reminds me a lot about this part in the movie Zulu. Well done and best wishes

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Very good adaption of that 54mm diorama. I voted for it because of the good idea and the suitable conversions you made.

Looks very similar to the 54mm dio. Great work!
