VERY cool. May i ask what the base size is and if the figures are in anyway fixed?
Thanks a lot, the credit goes to the figures! The figures are lose and can be removed easily. I will post the measurements on Monday, the dio is in my office on a shelf.

Brendan,
Yes they look nice, but what about the washing after a day on the battle front???
Luckily the offices wore a light grey coat so the look OK for the mess dinner that night
By the way, these soldiers are Hungarian, as depiced wearing the sky blue trousers, all part of the Austro-Hugarian Empire.

Many thanks, and true words indeed.
Totally true and very well oberved, it is actually Hungarian Grenadiers fighting for the Austrian Empire during Napoleonic Wars. The Austro-Hungarian Empire started to exist by 1867, so by that time, it was still just the Austrian Empire.Brendan,

Not a series I collect but I can definitely appreciate it via your dio.
Many thanks! As Obee pointed out, the uniforms are actually the ones of the Hungarian Grenadiers in the Austrian Army. I also like their white uniforms, but even more I like the white uniforms of the "Austrian" Austrian Army, like from the pics attached, they look really cool:

This is a pic of some 54mm LASSET figures I recently painted.
the figures on the left are German Regiments, white the blue trousers on the right are Austrian Regiments from the Infantry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1810.
5 Grenadiers in bearskin hats and one fusilier in shako.
And 4 3-D printed from Spiera Miniatures 25th Regt Pioneer & Drummer, 37th Hungarian Regt Drummer & 4th Grenzer Regt 1810

Here we go, the size is 20 x 30 cm, the figures can be removed easily.

I also made a small Dio for the Macedonian phalanx some time ago, using the same technique. But it actually makes more sense with these figures, since they have square bases and you can see the black sides at the edge of the bases - so this way it can be hidden. But usually your figures have rounded bases that taper down towards the edges, so they blend easily with the ground. Once I have some proper pics of the Phalanx, I will post it in a separate thread.
Great work, I can see that you are an expert in the Napoleonic Wars and their uniforms!
