"The Rendezvous 1812"

I created this 54mm diorama from an assortment of figure kits. The cafe facings are from Pagaso kits. I made the roof on the right building. The French Napoleonic soldiers and table, chairs and water barrel are from Andrea kits. The cafee server is from a MB kit. The lady coming to see the soldiers is from a Metal Models kit.The rest of the parts in the diorama are Verlinden,Time Machine or I made them. This one took me a couple of months to complete painting the parts and assembling. However I was working on it a couple years gathering kits. I like these fun projects.
