Chariots... The first AFV of the history.

Chariots started to be user in Mesopotamia in 3000 BC. Sumerians user 4 wheeler chariots pulled by oxen. In later periods two wheeler chariots were build and these cars were pulled with 2 or 4 horses. In Antician wars, chariots were effective weapons used against infantry.

In this work,we see a Persian chariot and elite cavalry unit. Persian imperial elite forces known as "10000 immortals".

In the 4th century BC the Persian Empire had the most powerful army and the political power of the world.

Happy modelling,

Emre Erkaplan...

1/72 Zvezda Turkish Cavalry & Janissaries diorama "DAWN" by Emre Erkaplan

Hello everyone,

This box diorama, which is work of mine, is showing a sequence from Ottoman's campains to Eastern Europe in 16th and 17th centuries.

I painted the Mostar Bridge and Bosnia view to the background. At the front, I set the janissaries (yeniçeri) and an Ottoman cavalary (sipahi) as entering in to a courtyard from a collapsedcity wall.

The figures i used are from 1\72 Zwezda kits number 8050 and number 8054. I named this box diorama as 'DAWN'
