1757 BATTLE OF LEUTHEN: ZIETEN HUSAREN

Actually, I wanted to write this post about the possibilities of making a good background for pictures of papersoldiers. I used for this purpose the Zieten Hussars.
At the Battle of Leuthen they were 10 squadrons i.e. 950 men circa.

 

In these pictures the Squadron is passing by a little farm by a village south of Leuthen. The ratio is always 1:1

 What was really important for me was the background. I think I did the snowy ground a little bit to high but the sky is quite good and the effect all together also very cool.
