Wagram Museum part 2 - 1/72 dioramas

 Here's part 2 of my 2018 visit to the battle of Wagram Museum - the dioramas....

Everything is 1/72 scale and units are at 1:1 ratio.  Fantastic!




Below - a gun battery - interesting to see how much room it actually occupied.

Wagram Museum part 1 - transport models

 In 2018 my wife and I went to the battle of Wagram museum.  Located in the village of Wagram, the Museum is located in the building used by Archduke Charles as his Headquarters.  The museum was packed with relics and finds from the battlefield, a set of exquisite vehicle models and a number of Austrian army dioramas in 1/72 scale.  It cost 3 Euros per person to get in.  Well, well worth it!  The only downside is that it is run by volunteers and is only open on a Sunday afternoon.

The museum had exhibits of battlefield relics donated, a number of large scale transport models and an extensive selection of dioramas in 1/72 scale.  I took photos of the 1/72 troops and transport models, apologies for the quality, I was getting reflections from the glass display cases.

Transport models - I'll do the troop dioramas separately....  I hope this inspires you to make your own, print or buy ready made.  ðŸ˜Š
