Like it Julián, I love it.
Can't wait to see it completed.
Rob.
Would you like the upside down pictures deleted Julián?
Rob.
Thanks for the cleaning. I had some problems loading the photos but now I think are solved.
Painting the houses... a slow slow process

Strange that you should say that Julián. I found one house which I still need to paint from when i made my harbour all that time ago.

Painting houses is very boring ... the first ones are nice to paint but with the 40th appear the nervous tics, hahaha

If anyone is interested I just found a new source which does the blue foam which I use for my coastlines in any amount you require. I placed an order on Thursday and it arrived by UPS on Friday morning. less than 24 hours later.

Well done.

Mind blowing Julián. Pure artistry.
They could be your holiday snapshots, they look so realistic.
Thank you for posting such an interesting, and inspiring set of pictures once again.
I know we can all glean a plethora of ideas on how to improve our own dioramas from your work displayed here.
I only wish that I could see it in reality one day.
Rob.
Just took a look at your home page Julián to see what came up for my future models to have on them, and saw your Middleham Castle with the tents in the outer works. I have actually camped in almost that spot when we did a Wars of the Roses enactment one year.

Oh my lord Julian! This is totally over the top awesome! I believe this is your best work yet. Such detail, nothing is over looked. Boats pulled up on shore, one turned over is a nice touch. The photography is excellent. Your backgrounds are so realistic. I even detected what appears to be a fog bank encroaching on the lighthouse in one or two photos. I can't say enough how much I like this piece of art. :salute::medal::envy::hatsoff:
Are those towers your own Martellos Julián?
Rob.
In one word "stunning":thumbsup:

Thank you David, yes the shipyard is a item I bought years ago and never I knew where to use, but now I have found his correct place.
Best regards,

Yes Rob,
I add a link for more detail. http://modeljship.com/en/terrain-and-scenics-11200/224-martello-tower.html
Last week I bought some items from Brigade Models, mi first order and I hope not the last.
I bought the Castlle of San Antonio and Menorca towers. When I receive I will post photos here to compare the measures with SOG ships.

It will be interesting to see if those fit in with my collection of your buildings and my Langton ones Julián.
Rob.
My mind is blown. That puts to shame just about every museum diorama I've ever seen.
Quite Jason.
We mere human beings can only strive to survive in the shadow of the true Master.
Rob.
Thanks for your words. I want to go back to do a harbor, possibly something inspired by the harbor of Dubrovnik :beer:

Jason thanks for resurrecting this.
Julian this is truly awesome in its true sense of the word, all of the detail is amazingly impressive, and realistic. Your portrayal of the port as a living historical town shown by the changes in its fortification styles over hundreds of years through to the small details including the wave formations is just lovely to look at. A real feast for th he eyes.
Amazingly well done.

What's the hill made from? Is it polystyrene?
Yes, I used polyestyrene and once a preform was made, I covered it with a paper pulp (toilet paper + water + white glue + optional color paint)

I can see the similarity from the map Ferrante. It must have been wonderful to have lived there as a child with the Castle of Saint Barbara overlooking the whole town.

Exactamente, como ya mencioné en un post pasado, hace ya algún tiempo, este diorama lo hice con inspiración a la ciudad de Alicante, mi ciudad también por cierto. Saludos

I can assure you that it is very impressive to see a fortress so large that it dominates the entire city.
Must have missed the fact that you come from Alicante Julián. That will explain how close your Model is to the real thing then. I just had a look on line and that Castle complex is still something to write home about.

It was considered impregnable fortress until last XIX century. And the truth is that once you have walked the places you understand the reason. The sheer terrain combined with the architecture of the fortification turned it into a giant fortress, with a fresh water supply by water wells, with large warehouses for supplies and all at a height that only the most powerful mortars could reach, provided when the artillery of the square let them approach ...
46384
The British, in the war of Spanish Succession, took the city of Alicante and entrenched themselves in the fortress. At the arrival of the French, they could only wait and dig a mine to exploit part of the castle. It was the only way to surender the fortress, through explosives and much patience.
I think you emphasized its sheer size an impregnability superbly in your Model Julián.
