One of the most important aspects of Warmodelling’s work is the commissioned production of small scenes and dioramas featuring a limited number of figures, as well as large-scale models commemorating major battles that have taken place throughout the course of history and may include up to several thousand figures. These large-scale models are an accurate reproduction of the terrain on which the events took place at a specific time, and include spectacular scenic work, as well as hundreds or even thousands of polychrome figures.
In our workshop, we have been working on a large model measuring more than 8 metres square depicting the Battle of Arapiles (Salamanca), which, in addition to the terrain, geographical relief and buildings, also includes miniature French, British, KGL, Portuguese and Spanish soldiers, as well as cavalry units and artillery teams both deployed and in action, plus a large number of additional details.
The new diorama was installed at the museum at the end of June 2008 and contained over 5,200 painted figures.
We have received special commissions from museums, associations and a wide range of organisations as well as individual customers. If you are interested in a project of this kind, please feel free to contact us to discuss your ideas.
