This is a joy to behold. The latest 'active diorama' from Michael at 1/72 Legions In Plastic Depot is an alternative history in which Napoleon invades the United States and confronts Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia. Plenty of suspension of disbelief required but it is superbly done and had me beaming from ear to ear!

I love that he adds the caveat/disclaimer of "Not intended to be 100% historically accurate", just for the pedants!
I became aware of Michael's marvellous dioramas after I ordered some figures from him via his 1/72 Legions In Plastic Depot store. He brings together the playfulness of the toy soldiers of our childhood with the patience and sheer capacity of the model soldiers of our adult selves.
This video is one of his "Bedroom Floor Battlefield series". He uses primarily 1/72 plastic figures with classic 25 mm figures added in. As one person commented on the video, it is fun to play 'spot the figure'.
If you liked this (and I can't see how you could not), then you'll also enjoy his version of Waterloo or the one inspired by Major Dundee. Better still, check out the lot on his YouTube channel.
Some joyous Sunday viewing.
