I dare to post this small diorama because it is about Dacians, my ancestors. It represents a minor skirmish between Dacians and Romans. Only Dacians available. :-)

Thank you all !!!
Trees and grass are from Noch (some of them probably Woodland Scenics in a Noch box).
There are two types of grass, "regular" ( I just named it that way :-) ) and forest grass.
Trees are natural, probably some dry roots or flowers. I sprayed them with glue and I poored two types of leaves.
For comparison I made a photo with a box of matches. Someone says: "Ooo, the Dacians attacked the Monolit from A Space Odissey!" :-) :-) :-)

hi Dumitrescu,
So good to see Romanian friends are also active in Armorama forums besides cartula.net
The forest looks very good in your diorama and I liked the Dacian shield decorations so much despite the small scale. I never painted a Dacian but I noticed they have similarities to Thracians.
Congrats

Yes, there are similarities because the Dacians (aka Getae, Gets) were a branch of Thracians.

Thank you all for your kind words.
