king derelict Posted May 23, 2022 #1837 Posted May 23, 2022 I think it's a very tough trick to pull off. I've seen a lot of dioramas where casualties are essentially standing figures cut off their bases and placed lying down. They don't have the slumped look you see in paintings and photos and rather spoil the appearance. I think you have it sorted out. Alan Canute, popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote

Old Collingwood Posted May 24, 2022 Author #1850 Posted May 24, 2022 Evening all, a we bit more progress today, I cut the bases from the 2nd KGL that I had made earlier, these will be glued inplace tomorrow, I also took another pic of the resin 5th KGL wounded, they are slightly larger scale than my plastic ones not massivley so but you can see the difference, so what I think I will do is to display them on another section of the farm (like the kitchen garden) and keep them slightly distanced from the ohers so the scale wont be that noticable.
