Want to build a diorama of this epic battle. Need to include a hill for the barbarians to ambush the Romans. Any ideas? 54mm.

Hello m14 .... I am not sure from your message if you are asking where to purchase a dioramas piece to make a hill or to build one. If a purchase is your goal then I am at a loss to suggest where to find one ... maybe Hobby Bunker (www.hobbybunker.com) might have one.

If building one is your aim then there are many threads that discuss the use of Styrofoam construction of all sorts of terrain ... cheap and rather easy to use. Check out the John Jenkins thread and see what Mike Miller is doing for his FIW dido of Wayne's Normandy beach as just two examples of 1000's.

If you have a specific question ... ask away!????

In addition to Larry's recommendation, I would search for "Teutoburger" and hopefully you will find that Gebhard and I have been - separately - to the proposed battlefield and posted pictures. That would help envisioning the environment. For the battle itself, hills on the left, boy on the right. More specifically, at the narrowest, the Germans had built fortified walls with exits.
