Viking of Rus Principality 9th-10 Century

Staying with the Viking theme here is one I have just finished. Made by Pagaso Models, Italy. I painted this 54mm with acrylic's, also painted the metals with acrylic's using the new Scale 75 paints. The Rus were Norseman that came to what is now Russia, Ukraine and Belarus from what is today Roslagen of modern day Sweden. They settled in the area and united what is now Russia giving it its name.

"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.
