Camerone 30th April 1863 - Last stand Diorama completed 54mm French Foreign Legion

Yes,  at last I have completed this diorama, of the Last stand at Camerone by the French Foreign Legion on the 30th April 1863 in Mexico.
As stated before it is a Pegaso Elite kit in 54mm.
Again I wont bore you with historical details, but it is an interesting story so take a look elsewhere for what happened on this day.
The pictures are again taken with my phone and it was a struggle to get all figures into focus, I think they turned out not too bad.






Thanks for looking.
Any questions or comments are most welcome,  Michael.

Pegaso 54mm French Foreign Legion Camerone trooper 3

Hello again, I have managed to get back to this diorama again and have finished the last figure.  So all I have to do now is basework etc.
A little dirt and grime has been added, more will be done in place on base.
Thanks for looking and any questions or comments are most welcome.

Pegaso French Foreign Legion Camerone 54mm Trooper 2 + Sergeant

Hello again to all.

Here is a further update to my Camerone Diorama, slow process I know, but here are 2 more figures, one more to go then Diorama itself.
There might be a while before I finish this as I have started another 2 projects and this may get shelved, a bad habit of mine and probably most modellers.

The first one is of a wounded trooper, the second the sergeant, denoted by red stripe on cuff and small sword on belt.
Pictures are still being taken by my phone and seem okay to me.
Thanks for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.

Michael.

Pegaso 54mm Captain Danjou French Foreign Legion Camerone

Hello again to all. I hope the New Year is going well with you all.

I am way overdue for a post, but been busy painting, so here goes.

This is one of 4 more figures that make up a diorama of The Last stand at Camerone by the French Foreign Legion in Mexico, on the  30th April 1863.
The kit is by Pegaso, which I bought from Ebay, having been started so had to be stripped etc.
This figure is of the Captain who led the defence,  he is Captain Danjou.
I wont go into babbling on about the history of the fight yet, it is interesting but I shall wait until diorama is finished.  I will state that Danjou had a wooden left hand as can be hopefully seen in picture.

Any comments or questions are most welcome.

Thanks for looking,  Michael.
