1/1

Hello dear modeller,

Erhan..

Emre's note:

Rebel Yell
In 1861, first 13 states under the name of Confederate States of America who came together around Senate of Virginia, as the leader against England during the independence war , decided to seperate from Washington centered Us.As Washington declares this as a rebel, the American civil War had started. 

  
Like other civil wars, the American Civil war is realy interesting eras for us as miniature figure funs. They create a chance to observe all different kind of military details of any country or culture in a small scale. 

In my work, you see a C.S. infantry troop in on charge. In this troop there are Texas voluntiers, Louisiana volintiers, one Tennessee rifle man , 3 cavalary officers, Virginia infantary and Missishipy milisia. 

Enjoy..

"TAIGA" ... 1/72 inbox diorama by Emre Erkaplan (Zvezda Russian Knights)

Hi everyone,

First I thank Erhan Atalay for sharing my work on his blog.

In this box diorama I aimed to give perspective by using background oil painting pochade which is my own work too. I tried the connection of the work with the background through the 3D by the trees. 

Those figures I used for this dioroma are Zvezda ( No 8001) 13-14 century 1/72 Russian Knights. Although it is written the figures are 1/72 you will see they are 1/76 in reality. The details and molds are quite successfull the vinyl material makes smoothing and painting a bit hard. But in my opion this is just a regular part in this kind of work for a figure painter or scale modeler.

Thank you,

Emre Erkaplan...

thank you for sharing Emre..
