The amazing Croebern Diorama

Croebern 1813Croebern-1813 is an ambitious Project run by three german entusiasts: Dirk Tietten, Niels Rullkötter and Wolfgang Meyer.
They are making a very big diorama of the Cröbern area, during the first day of the battle of Leipzig (October 16, 1813) around 16.00 o'clock. Using 1/72 scale buildings, scenery and figures, the representation of the village of Cröbern will cover, when finished, approximately 14 square meters. The goal is to represent a frozen vision of the village and the surrounding area, so many individual scenes and vignettes are simultaneously shown, with an incredible realism.

Croebern 1813 The web site Croebern 1813, regularly updated, follows the progress of the diorama construction, showing the planning, the research and many useful tricks about scenary making. A web-based shop allows the purchase of several items, such as CD's with pictures of the progress of the diorama, grass mats, model trees, hedges, buildings, etc.

Croebern 1813 A must for any fan of military modelling!
