Borodino 1812

[böckchen]

Thank you for your interest in this project.
Now it's time for the fine sleep.
Various decorations and individual figures are added that were still waiting to dry on the painting strip.
This also fills the foreground.  As always with the resonance, the box is too small.......

On November 29th a photographer comes. Commissioned by the Army Museum. Well, let's see....
F. Bähr and his son and grandson were there at the weekend, now three of them! and did a great job, especially on the foreground.
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
According to a rough count, around 1,600 figures were painted and installed.
Here we also have to answer the question of the most important editors, i.e. everything that has rank and name! Mainly figures come from Ehmke (now Seele), A. Baden, (formerly) Kiel, J.Frauendorf, formerly Neckel, B&S, also "unknown-private" manufacturer, and last but not least from me W.Bock figures (of course in other uniforms were put in and made to fit this era!

Vision and talent aplenty!  Thank you for the insight as well.

It is a pleasure to tell you about our projects.
Unfortunately I'm just a guest this time. And therefore not fully involved in the process. Mine modest work in mastering the depiction of the village in the foreground. So the real thing happened in the middle.
I will address your questions later.
when everything is installed and every blade of grass is where it belongs.


many figures have been rebuilt. to bring more drama into this depiction. There are already many figures on this topic, but very few collectors will dare to rework their figures. Most of the figures are from the actors' private possessions. So these are figures donated by these collectors and what you can find in scrap boxes on exchanges today.
Newly soldered together, perfectly painted and unique pieces are created!
If you look closely you will see many figures that are from a different era. Or that the brush has left the original contours of the engraving on the figure.

Very impressive work, exceptional appearance and story telling.

This is a truly impressive work!

Magnificent work!
May we get some information about the details of the work?
About how many figures are involved?
Are the figures commercial ones (I mean they are purchased) or are they "tailor made" unique figures for this diorama?
Who are the editors of the figures?
About how many hours were required for the figure-painting, and creating the environment?


Anyway, it is an outstanding artwork!


Congratulations!
Sandor
