Great figures and beautiful photography again, sotnik,
always a pleasure to look at your diorama works.
I have one question concerning the Flagbearer.
In the third picture from the top it seems that the flagpole is bent, from just above the hand up to the flag.
I would have thought that the flagpoles are made of steel instead of the usual white metal alloy for the figures?
Due to the fairly heavy weight of the flags the pole is a very sensitive and weak point when made out of soft metal.

Beautiful job.... NAPO226(back far right) is IMO one of the best sculpted figures in this release just an awesome job. If you didn't notice your flagpole is bent , it's a quick fix and unnoticeable once straightened(I fixed mine also) . The weight of the flag is not an issue as you already no , he must have had a bumpy ride . Thanks for sharing your passion with us . All the best Gebhard

Beautifully posed and photographed.... and I do like your choice of backdrop for these dioramas.

Well Done !!!

Glad to see more Napoleonics in the Forum

Thank you , i'm happy to share
This is just a small scenes of diorama in progress.
I checked the flagpole and thank god it wasn't bent , but has rubbed off paint
Above the hand it has a curve and with chipped paint on foto looks like it bent.
Thank you for the pointer , i guess i damaged it a little.
Its seems flagpole made of different metal as i couldn't straightened , but didn't want to risk breaking it.

I didn't pick a favorite one as they all AMAZING
My flagbearer fell on enemy bayonets and got rubbed off paint , that's why on photo looks like it bent .
I'll try to fix it.
More pictures will come so stay tuned
Thank you!

Thank you , its really easy to create with FL figures

 

[Scott]

These figures REALLY stand up well in close up photography.

That's why we buy em

More excellent scenes and photos mate. I love the depth of field effects you achieve here. No doubt the FL figures make it all the more appealing since they do indeed stand up so well to close ups. Those Russian Grenadiers are magnificent. I also think they are some of the best FL sculpts to date.
