Eye Deep In Hell!

[grumpa]

No pen or drawing can convey this land.....Evil and the incarnate fiend alone must be master of this war and no glimmer of Gods hand is see anywhere.....Annihilating, maiming, maddening....One huge grave and cast upon it the poor dead....it is unfathomable....I now know I shall sit at the right hand of the lord, soon I shed this mortal shell, for I have truly spent my time in Hell...

[papa 695]

Awesome work Jim you get a real sense of what it must have been like in the trenches.

That's really excellent Jim, you can just imagine the fear of the German soldiers, facing those steel monsters for the first time.


Only one small thing that hit me - jerry cans weren't invented until the 1930's....

Thank you ever so much!... Ahh... Leave it to you Patrick! Though right you are, this pic sat in my brain and for some reason I imagined some kind of cans {maybe water?}

I wish I could add 2 great builds for this, my god there is so much going on, you could look at it for hours. Truly outstanding build. BRAVO

 

[Bigfoot57]

Jim brilliant work I've been watching this from your initial saucer and wooden base you have created a masterful of what it would be like in such a situation from the trenches of ww1 diorama

 

[0ne48thtel]

[geegad]

[grumpa]

Great build.....sobering words!!o_O

Thanks so Much Have read volumes on the " great war" and no words can describe the horrors and privations suffered, hope my dio brings a bit of that forth albeit pitifully:oops:....Jim

 

[Gern]

Beautiful.

 

[grumpa]

Beautiful.

Thanks Dave

 

[Gern]

Beautiful.

Alas Bigfoot57 I don't deserve a great build doodah - I only wish I could build to this standard! You need to add your doodah to Jim's original post.

 

[Steve Brodie]

excellent

For my money, this is what dioramas are about, a narrative and no compromise or resorting to caricature. If I saw this in a military or war museum, I'd study it for ages. Stunning Jim, simply stunning.
