Hello from France,
I'm glad to show you some pictures of my work : a diorama of Battle of the Nations, in Leipzig, October 1813. I Made it in 2005, with almost 6700 figures...

Very impressive. What scale are the figures?

Excellent work Samuel. Thank you for sharing it here. I wish we could see some larger photos, it is so impressive.

The site says the scale is 1/72 I believe. There are some old Airfix cavalry in the mix.

The scale is 1/72, with a majority of Italeri, Hät, Zvezda, Airfix, Strelets figures... and some conversions !

C'est magnifique! Quelle dio. Wow!

This is one of the finest Napoleonic diorama's I have ever seen, and it's in plastic no less.

To paint all of these figures must have entailled countless hours. Hope you had someone to help.

To paint so many figures, I had to choose beetwen quantity and quality... I choose quantity ! It means that you have to look at details ! I was alone to paint that, but now, my two old childs are starting to paint figs !

It takes 3 days and that was a real pleasure to set all those figures on the dio, if I compare with all the time spent to paint them...
After the setting up, I made hundreds of pictures and... I had to clean up the room for the sunday service : it takes place in a church !

In fact, my two old boys started to collect figs few month ago... they don't resist temptation ! And I'm proud of that !
