War Diorama

Almost every time I sat down to complete another mini project for my Bunratty Castle diorama , I ended up over excited to remember to take pictures from the process or even the result. I am therefore very happy that I took few photos when painting the  Valdemar Medieval Builders Set 1 . Below, I share few pictures from the results. Most of the figures have found their place in the diorama , while few are patiently waiting for their turn. I have also included few heavy conversions from the IMEX set American Pioneers , thanks to some gray stuff. 

It was love at first site the moment I laid my eyes on Bunratty castle during my holiday in Ireland. I was excited as a kid roaming around all the rooms, narrow staircases and corridors that connected with other parts of the castle in a way that seemed impossible. Right then I knew that a new diorama project was waiting for me back home. Six months later, the diorama is already taking shape while I continue to work on the remaining finishing touches.  The diorama is done in 1/72 scale, on a 2ft*4ft (60cm*120cm) board. It is a glorious time at the castle. The local Bishop is visiting to bless the church that is under construction. He is flanked by strong retinue of men at arms and a knight. The workers at the church are hard at work on erecting the walls, and the castle blacksmith is outfitting the solders for an upcoming sortie in the nearby forrest. Everything happens under the watchful eyes of the castle guards. ...
