[MOC] Battle of Sphacteria 425 BC

[Mpyromaxos]

Hi guys, this is my new creation! 
It's my entry to the Colossal Battle Contest V  2017
for the category .
CBC V - Dread Ambushers Category

I choose to create a great battle from the ancient Hellenic Wars, known as Peloponnesian War.

A small force of Spartan army was cutted from their main army of Sparta by Athenian army and their navy on the island of Sphacteria.
The Athenian forces manage to land on the island after a surprise attack and forced the Spartans to surrender!

It's one of the few times that a Spartan army was surrendered and did not fight until death.

I hope you like it!

Impressive! I like your army! The boat part is wonderful too.

Great scene management! Lots of figures to combine. I like the landscape too, especially the beach.

[Gunman]

Awesome work Giorgo, great details all around and great photography too 

[MAB]

Placement of the boat is perfect. And some nice shields in there too.

Utterly stunning landscaping and layout. Very realistic and simply beautiful.  I would, however, have built the boat full length. But for what is there - it looks excellent as well.

I me out of reddish brown plate and tiles, and i built the ship last 2 days cause it was last minute idea. my first thought it was to use some plain boats, but i don't like it ver much.. so i built the trireme with the parts that i had available.

Incredible and beautiful MOC! One of the best I've seen. I really love your temples and statues. I'm working on a Rome project but its much simpler than this.

Great! have you built it?? Cause i was out of eurobrick for a while! 

[Venefic]

Wow! I think the part that really stands out for me is the boat crashing into the display! There's quite a bit of detail here which I can imagine depicts the scene well. This is really really good work.

Tnk you! I wanted the trireme to enter the stage and it was a really add-on of the last minute! I will make a subject in the future only with trireme with better pictures!
I'm glad you liked it!

Yep, but it pales in comparison to this.
