Ancient German River Fleet

[Cryns]

Ancient German River Fleet - Alt Germanische Flotte - Oud Germaanse Riviervloot

For the boatsmen I converted Pegasus Mission Indians and Farm Animals, Imex Lewis & Clark + Indians, Orion Slavic Warriors, HaT Dacians and Gallic Chariot Crew, Airfix Tarzan Figures and Ancient Britons, Esci Barbarians, Italeri Celts, Emhar Viking Oarsmen, Atlantic US Cavalry Camp.
Riverboats are scratch build of wood. The River is cast using Tar Bender.

Kindest regards,

Mr. Cryns from Amsterdam

Nice entry on this forum, what a great scene this is.
And since you're from Amsterdam, maybe you want to show it on FIGZ 2016?
Love the theme, and the way you made this vignette is awesome!
There is so much to see, the poles with heads are a nice detail.
This must be a big vignette, what is the size? The water looks realistic as well...
Let's hope there is more of your work here soon!!!

Fantastic first entry on this forum! Welcome and thanks for sharing!

It looks that this isn't a permanent diorama, but more like a part of a gaming table. I see the same boats in several settings. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Outstanding! The water looks so real.

[giorgio]

wow! you make me feel like if i was there! really lifelike, figures are perfect, paint is perfect, the river is perfect, places around are perfect, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the rowings hitting the water and the croaking of the frogs!

Welcome here! A fantastic first entry and a very unique topic so far.

The first two photos are evocative of the Last Kingdom, currently showing on British television. The moody atmosphere is super. Excellent work.

Gentlemen,

First of all thank you very much for such a warmhearted welcome at your forum!
I already feel at home.

This must be a big vignette, what is the size?

Dad, Peter is right, it is all part of a wargame table setup.



River, brook and swamp are separate elements.

maybe you want to show it on FIGZ 2016?

And yes, because these are seperate elements it will be possible to show some of it on Figz 2016.

[Peter]

Thanks for clearing this out! It's a wonderfull gaming table, and I think you have a lot more to show us; I see some more figures on that table! Looking forward to see this live at FIGZ 2016!
