1479, Battle of Breadfield diorama

[TK]

Hi

There is the Battle of Breadfield 1479 diorama with 225 cavalry and 80 infantry figures. In the battle, the Hungarian army defeated the Ottoman Turkish army on Breadfield next to Alkenyér. The figures are mixing of Miniart, Redbox, Revell, Zvezda, Streles-R, Orion and many conversions.
























Here you can see more photos about it:

Wow, this battle scene looks splendid! Your paintjob and the colors are excellent. And taking the pictures outdoors obviously gives a good, natural illumination, which contributes to the realistic appearance of the diorama.

huge diorama, and despite the great dimensions and number of figures you kept a very high painting level with fine details, well done TK !

And in the third picture we can see that also ducks are admiring the excelent results

I'm simply speechless to see such a spectacular diorama, Krisztián. It's full of a lot of details, so thanks for the link to the full photo report where you can see them more clearly.

It has so many things and so well done that you don't know where to look. The scenery is fantastic, the figures are superbly painted and everything fits together with total naturalness and precision. I love the original method you used to make the water in the river.

The truth is that I wouldn't know which part to choose: if the battle is amazing, the area of the farms and peasants is no less so.

Another great project, like all of yours!

Santi.

What wonderful work! Congratulations on this mammoth effort! As Santi says, the painting of the figures and the scenery is all super. How big is that board and how are you going to store it?!

What museum is this going in!! What a masterpiece!!!

Excellent work. Every detail is nicely painted and arranged. I have attempted much smaller dioramas and have some inkling of the time and effort involved in creating such a scene. A true labor of love. I've never heard of the battle, what was it;s significance?
Cheers,

Very nice painting and lovely photography bringing out the colours.

The battle seems to lack casualties but the terrain and composition are excellent.

Best wishes,

Hello TK,
joining other forum members in the praise of your masterpiece. Huge, peautifully painted figures, amazing.
Read the article about the battle I didn't know of so far. Upon reading I wondered that the diarama does not quite reflect the battle. When I first saw I asked myself how these Turkish light horse could dare to face such an overwhelming Serbian force with shot and heavy armour. They are also attacked in the back by an impressive contingent of gen-d'armes. The article states that the Turkish were mostly light cavalry, but twice the number and the Serbs and numerous allies were also mostly light cavalry with foot troops. However, seemed to be much better organized than Akinci marauding light horse.
No criticism here, just sharing thoughts. I love the master piece none-the-less.

Greetings
Michael

Hi,
The diorama doesn't show the whole battle. It represents the hard moment of Báthory with his guard and Saxon infantry, They were surrounded by the Turks but Kinizsi arrived with his heavy cavalry to break through the Turkish line.
