Holy biscuits! You could knock me over with a feather!
Any shots of the whole thing from a distance, just to show an overall look?
Also, I'd love to know how you did your grass!

I only painted a handfull of the figs on it, ;) The book Comes out soon with explanations of how the dio was made, with over 200 photos.
The grass was made with Sheets of grass from the model railway makers Heki-Kittler. 40 x40cm Sheets slightly stretched and pressed into the (still) wet surface of the dio. There´s over 20m² of it on the dio

I've asked for an email notification for when it's available. The quality of the work, the buildings, terrain and figures, not to mention the research that these guys have done is simply astounding and of the very highest quality.
It's inspiring - go take a look.

I got the book yesterday....Hardback, 200 pages, a great read, loads of info, loads of pics (there´s 249 of the dio itsself) and well worth getting hold of, which you can do so from here; History, Die Welt in Miniaturen.

There was a lot of People involved, but not all at the same time, I came in in the last 18 months.
Apparently it´s the biggest dio in europe so wether it would be a guiness book of records candidate
The next one ?.... I can´t say much about it at the Moment except it will be will also be a another big one...... a bit bigger :)

What is the scale for this diorama? Did someone painted eyes to all figures? :D

The scale of the figures is 1/72nd.
As far as any historical records Show, each individual (numbers of troops, guns , civilians) have been represented 1:1 and the actual landscape is recreated (houses, streams tress ) also on a 1:1 Basis.
No-one painted the eyes, it´s difficult to do realistically on one figure let alone 30,000 plus...although I did paint the eyes on some 250 horses for the dio ;)

I was told the shop would be put into english as well, never mind, I´ll ask.
One Thing you could try in the meantime, is at the bottom of the screen is Kontakt
and fill in the questionaire Thing
Betreff - is reference
Ihre Nachricht an uns - your message to us
Vorname - forename
Nachname - Family Name
(the rest, E-Mail is the same
The owners Speak english so it shouldn´t be a Problem.
-
I´ve asked. ;)
I´ll give a reply as to what the answer is ASP.

I got my book yesterday and it is just superb. A seriously good effort and the pictures are awesome.
The whole project is just awesome.
-
So is the book's text only in German?
-
No- there are two versions, one in German, mine is in very good English.
-
Just ordered a copy as it looks so good - am now hoping it was the English version, as my German's so poor I just followed the online ordering process 'by instinct'!
