a cemetery
During the urban figths in the Napoleonic era, the cimeteries
(graveyards) sometimes played a distinguished role. This one is my last
addition to the urban scenery for the Campaign of Leipzig
| 1 | A view of the materials: 2mm cardboard, water-based paints, liche, sand, stones (litter cat), white and cyanoacrylate glues, wooden matchsticks and LITEPLAST paste |
 |
|
| 2 | The walls and the foundatios are cut into the cardboard and then glued with white-glue, |
 |
 |
| 3 | The walls and gate are glued onto the surface of the cimetiere along the four pillars of the corners |
 |
|
| 4 | Some graves are added, leaving space for a least seven infantry bases, and the walls and terrain are covered with modelling paste |
 |
|
| 5 | The exposed soil is covered with white glue and then sparked liberally with sand. After drying (around two hours) the excess of sand is eliminated |
 |
 |
| 6 | The soil is primed dark brown, whereas the walls and pilalrs are in light grey |
 |
 |
| 7 | The soil and foundations are covered wuth white glue and sparked with static grass |
 |
 |
| 8 | The crosses are made from spared plastic sprues adn placed into position with superglue and a pin |
 |
 |
| 9 | The pillars of the gate are made with matchsticks glued over the carboard into a prism shape |
 |
 |
| 10 | The iron grilles of the gate are made by inserting pins into the carboard priming in black and painting in gun-metal |
 |
 |
| 11 | The crosses are painted and then some decorative paint flakes and plants are added |
 |
 |
| 12 | French Light Infantry deployed in the cemetery |
