With my current kick for the 18th Century growing stronger I was pleased to see these rather fine dioramas on the JJD stand at the December 2012 London Toy Soldier Show.
A lively set to, which I assume to be Culloden but could be any of the clashes from the Jacobite Rising/Rebellion. The very thought of painting tartans fills me with dread but I can't help feeling that I'm being drawn in by the wonderful animation of those Highlanders.
These Prussian Grenadiers could have just jumped straight off the canvas of the famous painting DieSchlacht Von Leuthen by Carl Rochling, inspiring stuff, I just wish I could get my humble Frederickians to look that good!
Inspirational eye candy indeed! Glad you are getting the 18th century bug...

Thanks for commenting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteDo you have an About page? I can't find one. It's always the first place I look when I meet a new blogger.
