Going on with my project(s), I still have to keep on mind that I want - one day - present to to town of Turin a diorama 1:1 of part of the Battle of Turin that occurred in 1706.
As seen in my previous posts, I an dealing with the (French) Régiment Piédmont, that was serving the French Army nonwithstanding its denomination.
I changed the poses of the papersoldiers: now they are marching and dynamic. So I took some pictures to give the idea. While I was there, I tried to understand the dimension of a battallion at 1:1 ratio, so to have the proportions. Previously I was divinding in companies, that could be correct but the extension of the battalion in this way becomes to much, even for me. So I prefer to prepare 1 battalion all together and in case of need to detach one company (my papersoldiers are not glued but just with a magnet); here the results:
The 2 rows on the back are marching (in 2 different poses) thhe 2 front ranks are dynamic (4 poses)
Now the measures:
depth 7 cm
So making some calculations:
the front was arount 100 men, i.e. - with all the needed distances around 100m (in this case were 97 men, so 97 meter): this gives the following proportions:
97m:56cm = 100m:x Result: 57 cm = 100 m
570 cm = 1 km
11,40 m = 2 km
I know it is quite a playground to find, but I am what I have to face: a playground to prepare of 16 m wide, so to represent 3 km (that by the way is a huge distance by foot).
