Saving the High Ground: Buford's Stand at Gettysburg [Military History in Miniature]
My 21st military history miniatures diorama video depicts the desperate fighting delay of Union General John Buford's cavalry brigades on the first day of the battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Buford decided to stay and fight against the rebels' heavy numerical advantage in order to save the high ground of Cemetery Ridge for the Union army in the upcoming battle.
I wanted to take the standard practice of displaying photos of military miniatures and "up the game" by telling the story of the battle display as the viewer is led through the diorama visually and audibly. Really captures the viewer's imagination!

March or Die...Again! [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
I noticed that my most popular military diorama video by a wide margin was "March or Die" on the French Foreign Legion. So, I thought, why not make another one...?? I hope you enjoy it as much as the first one. I wanted to take the standard practice of displaying photos of military miniatures and "up the game" by telling the story of the battle display as the viewer is led through the diorama v...
The Charge of the Scots Greys [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 6195 месяцев назад
My depiction of the famous charge of the Scots Greys at Waterloo. You'll note at the end of the video a charge by Napoleon's Polish Lancers is depicted. Many military history sources state that this regiment was actually one of the Lancers of the Line regiments, however, in the "Waterloo" movie made in the 1960's the Polish lancers were depicted. I chose to use the Polish lancers for my video, ...

The Wehrmacht Resurgent: France, September, 1944 [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This video uses a lot of buildings and scenics, as well as a good number of figures, from my WWII collection to depict a battle between the American Army and the German Wehrmacht along the French-German border in September 1944. I think it's very close in its depiction of the tactics and techniques that both sides employed at this moment in the war. I hope you enjoy it! I wanted to take the sta...

This video depicts the allied attempt to seize the bridge across the Rhine in order to penetrate into Germany during WWII. I built the bridge from scratch (It took me about 2 1/2 months of work on and off) Hope you enjoy it!

My version of the battle of Quatre Bras which set the stage for the final conflict at Waterloo. Many thanks to Keys of Moon for the use of their musical piece, "Storm". I wanted to take the standard practice of displaying photos of military miniatures and "up the game" by telling the story of the battle display as the viewer is led through the diorama visually and audibly. Really captures the v...

The Death of Army Group Center: Operation Bagration, Summer 1944 [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 96410 месяцев назад
My miniature version of the opening of Operation Bagration - the huge assault on German Army Group Center by the Russian Army commencing on June 22, 1944. The Germans lost nearly twice as many soldiers in this battle than they did at Stalingrad. Many thanks to Keys of the Moon for the use of two of their pieces of music - "Storm" and "Decisive Battle." I'm a long time collector and creator of m...
Battle of the Teutoburg Forest [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.11 месяцев назад
One of the worst defeats ever suffered by the Roman Empire. Here's my take of it using military miniatures. Many thanks to Keys of Moon for the use of their musical piece, "Epic Adventure." I hesitated in making this video because when I started it I had enough pieces in my collection for the Roman Legions, but none from the barbarian tribes opposing them. Needless to say I did a lot of paintin...

The combatants on the Russian front in World War II really suffered, particularly in the winter. Here's my attempt to illustrate what it was like...in miniature...:-) I wanted to take the standard practice of displaying photos of military miniatures and "up the game" by telling the story of the battle display as the viewer is led through the diorama visually and audibly.

March or Die! The French Foreign Legion in North Africa [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
This is my take of a typical battle for the French Foreign Legion in North Africa in the late 1800s. Although the places mentioned in the video did exist (Blockhouse 7 and the Oasis for example) this is not a depiction of an actual historical battle, just my interpretation of a tactical action of that time which I think is very close to being an accurate depiction. I wanted to take the standard...
The Siege of Carthage [Military History in Miniature]
Просмотров 486Год назад
A depiction of the Siege of Carthage by Roman legions in 149-146 BC. This military miniatures diorama used hundreds of figures from my collection (those who are students of ancient warfare will probably notice that the Carthaginians are actually depicted by Greeks and Spartans - I took some artistic license there so you'll have to forgive me). I think it's one of the best military miniature dio...
