Flavius,
mille grazie for Your praise. It honors me if You take Your inspiration and make a painting of it. In the moment I have only 3 dioramas finished, one is the scene where I took the so called Praetorians from the Louvre relief as a model; it was shown already in the topic about the Praetorian cavalry.
The third is a smaller vignette with only 2 men and a tiger, it's not historic, I tried to recreate a famous photo from 'Gladiator'.

Just for me it takes much time to build a diorama. For 'Manduessedum' with its 25 men and 6 horses I needed about 2 1/2 years as I am not a professional but just a hobby modellist who works in the evening when he has enough time. In the moment I am working on two projects. One is rather large following the famous paiting of Lionel-Noel Royer 'Vercingetorix drops his weapons to the feet of Caesar'. 25 figures are semi- or fully modelled, scratched, none yet painted; however, one can already recognize how it once will look like.

But I got a little tired of it and interrupted the progress for a smaller vignette. I modelled the Caelius-tombstone from Xanten and try to make a little scene with a centurio at a Roman road, a general sitting on his horse (Aulus Caecina ?), both standing between the tombstones and watching legionaries on their march-off for Germanicus' first campaign in 14 AD.
