Roman and other dioramas
#24
Quote:I wonder what scale the models/figures are. They look pretty small, and I have seen wagons very much like those in 25mm.
They are indeed 25mm-1/72 scale. Just about every figure available. Originally it covered only July 2nd & 3rd. He later added the action northwest of town from July 1st and a number of other larger scale vignettes along the surrounding walls. It is accompanied by a sound and light narration that spotlights all the major fights. During the night-time intervals little glowing campfires dot the landscape. There are also lights (wheatlamps or LEDs) hidden in the wisps of material that simulate powder smoke. These blink when that portion of the line is engaged. I hope to do something similar with my large project as well using fiber-optics buried in the ground cover. It really livens up an otherwise static display. They even note the spot where the campground and Diorama now sit. At the time it was the location of the Union Artillery Reserve. Once I finish the CivWar diorama I will start on a Roman one. I haven't settled on a scenario yet, maybe Cremona or something fron Trajan's.
