Homeland Defense 1760 (56k beware-picture heavy)
Posted by ajlafleche on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 2:20 PM

This 54mm diorama depicts a raid on a frontier settlement in the Hudson Valley about 1760. Kits used were Michael Roberts' Bushy Run, Andrea's Huron Warrior (Looking conspicuously like Wes Studi's Magua)) and a Nemrod figure. The small tree is from a Der Bunte Rock base, and the large one is part of the Bushy Run kit. The well and bucket are from Reality in Scale with a shingle roof from a model railroad supplier. The pot and pitcher are Historex accessories I've had for decades.

The crouching figure is essentially OOB. The running/firing figure has ear and nose decorations added. The reloading figure had his left hand and right forearm repositioned to be in better contact with the musket. I added metal ring decorations to this breech clout.  The figure in the British coat had ear decorations added. His roach is a tuft of "grass." The other three had cut down fly tying feathers added to their roaches or hair. The tricorn is scratch built.

Ground work is from various sources over Celluclay with at least three commercial bases blended in.
