Hi Hank,

thanks for your encouragement!

To be honest, I don’t expect to ever get the Oscar – but perhaps I live long enough to see some other things happen, such as the completion of the HäT Late Roman range. Or perhaps the release of the Byzantines from Caesar. Or … Well, patience is the most important qualification for a figure collector, it seems.

Best regards
Stephan

Stephan, the bridge you have used looks like it is made from cork material, and a hellava good bridge it is too. Your diorama has inspired me to complete a bridge section I started late last year using Zvezda kits. I will use cork to complete it.

Hi Mike,

the bridge is a ceramic cast from Kai Fuhrmann, if you want to take a further look:

I have no expercience with cork at all, so if you have some finished buildings, I'd be curious to see the results.

I remember that I have seen in a museum some cork models of Greek temples, the models were some 200 years old and quite impressive - about 1:10 or 1:20 scale.

Best regards
Stephan

Thanks for the reply Stephan, I have some houses made from cork, but old photos of when they were being made.
Will post the painted ones soon, hopefully with some medieval or Napoleonic figures.
