VIKINGS approaching the invaders !!!! (1 Viewer)

[artmabigor]

Hello all, this time I have not posted here:
abandoned my favorite period (1st empire) .... going back 1000 years of history of my country ...
Bought 3 references: superb figurines: scupture painting level and high quality / nothing to say to me, they are perfect (in my personal taste).
My passion is to create sets, I can not let these Vikings without their boat "Drakkar". I picked up tools and brushes !!
A little history on these invaders barbarians:
The Viking invasions
In 843, a hundred longships attacking and looting Nantes: the Bishop of Nantes will be killed in His cathedral with Many faithful

In 845 more than a hundred longships up the Seine and Paris Pillaged burning monasteries and churches. The royal army of Charles the Bald, distraught, flees. The Vikings left the city contre a tribe of 7,000 pounds of silver,

852: one hundred longships Moved along the Seine at Jeufosse, Halfway entre Rouen and Paris: They plunder the valley and set fire to the Sanctuary Tours of St. Martin, The Most popular of Gaul. Charles the Bald, yet Helped His Brother Lothar, do not dare to Intervene,

In 856: Paris is again attacked This: They Threaten to burn everything if we do not pay 'em off a sum of money: Charles the Bald runs,

They recur in 858 and 861.

It is only in the Scandinavian 911que King Rollo and accept baptism est devenu Duke of Normandy, a vassal of the King of France

Attached are some pictures of my finished work.

Real nice display Guy, i love this period in history as well. I like the weathered colours you have achieved with the ship and shields. I only hope i can achieve something half as good as that with my own project. Regards Greg.

Hi Tom,
OK have been here in this park several times this place is a great source of inspiration, unfortunately no historical representation of the Napoleonic wars is represented; Normal for this Vendée region remained loyal to the King of France when the revolution happened ....

Hi Guy,
Another handmade work of art your creativity and talent are something I really enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to share with fellow collectors my friend. regards Gebhard

It would seem that stepping away from the Napoleonic period has not affected your skill in diorama making.This is really well done.
