Really, really very nicely created . . . . just brilliant and certainly is pleasing to the viewer's eye. I really like how you "inset" the figures bases into your ground work. Your city wall and shown building are just fantastic looking and very realistic in appearance.

Well, I can't add a comment in French, so sorry to break the chain.....:tongue: Anyway, these pics are outstanding! The realism you capture is just superb and I might say these are the best pics you have posted yet. Which is saying a lot!

WOW! I just stumbled upon this thread! This has to be the best Napoleonic scratch building I have yet seen.... the best Nap. fortification I have ever seen, and one of the best villages. Vauban would be truly proud, and that is something I don't say every day (he is one of my heroes, besides Napoleon, or course). So how do you make these houses/the fort? Can we get photos of the steps? How do you do the stones? I either make mine from actual plaster bricks, or carve foam, but that looks sculpted, almost like the Hudson and Allen stuff (in fact, your work is very similar). I also admire your cobblestone mat for the village... who makes it?
Vive Napoleon,

Hello Sandor,
Thank you for your compliments on my work.
As my friend posted Gebhard, I have already explained how I'm doing.(post 23 -28)
To answer your questions: walls and cobblestones are drawn with a pen on pieces of extruded polystyrene 20 mm thick.
Attached image before painting.
The timbered walls of the houses are wooden crates to recovery vegetables (free in store food)
Slate and tile roof houses are designed and cut out of cardboard (cereal box packaging Kellogs ...)
These are my "secrets and manufacturing.":wink2:
Thank you.
cordially
Guy.

I wish I had your talent to create from scratch......
Thank goodness there are commercially available scenic products already assembled and painted.
I have painted individual figures but always had challenges with the scenery and buildings.
Its really a thrill to see some of the talent exhibited on this forum.
