Finishing Essling Cemetery
I added grass and foliage around the outside of the cemetery walls. The static grass I unwittingly chose to use was GaleForce9’s Dead Grass – the colours of which didn’t work too well with my base colour. Now, what’s a cemetery without ivy? Naturally, I had to add some which I did with pieces of Army Painter’s Poison Ivy. When everything was stuck down, I finished off highlighting the iron gate and the odd stone. I ended up with a model that was probably a far cry from what the cemetery on the outskirts of Essling actually looked like.

cemetery model with the gravestones insert.

voltigeurs defend Essling cemetery against an
attack by Hungarian infantry.
But despite the limitations of its size, I
had a model that at least was inspired
by and tried to reflect what limited
information was available to me.
