Thanks Monica, sorry it took so long to acknowledge your post. It's an oldie from early 90s, I try to tell a bit of a story in each of my dios.\ said:like the whole scene of this one the somba feel to it,the lone German,with his dead friends,thinking whats just happened and the US,guysjust watching him,with the tank driver reporting in,
Thanks Snowy-- my little granddaughters want to build some snowmen but it's just too darn COLD!!\ said:A very emotive dio!!Stirling stuff!!
Thanks Si, I built this one for my father inlaw for his birthday and he kept it in his china cabinet for 20 years until his passing and never failed to show it off to visitors......Jim\ said:Very moving Jim, great piece.

Thanks Joe, not something you see too much of in a diorama, I like the unusual scenarios, also you can see the skills were a bit primitive back then :oops:\ said:Lovely work Jim. I see a bit of compassion from the US soldier towards the defeated German, nice touch.
Thanks Robert, I have new stuff coming out soon, a couple of vehicles and a country road "generic" display base for individual vehicles as they come out just to have something to show them on. I will also be building a city or town street base for that "urban" look. Dioramas can be so involved, take so much time plus fiddling with all the figures:oops: Then where to display them anymore. I've slowed down in that department quite a bit--BUT-- don't fear my friend, I have a WW1 dio in mind with plenty of drama, carnage etc...etc...as soon as I can collect all the figures. Will probably be my big winter project. Cheers.....Jim\ said:Hi Jim
You have captured war in all its entirety. It does not matter who has the bigger gun it's all about what we are prepared to lose in ourselves.
It is quite evocative to look at all the pain destruction struggle and emotion and sorrow you have captured all in one scene.
I think you have a rare talent there
Thank younger sharing this
Regards
Robert
Thanks John, I appreciate your attention, I find it quite fun to pick about with the little stuff, plus I feel it creates the illusion of size in the dios. That's quite an "oldie" but I think it came out well considering my budding abilities at the time {80s I think}........Jim\ said:I find myself, with all of your work, going into a "Where's Wally" (I believe its "Where's Waldo", where you hail from!) mode, scanning the pictures for all the minutiae that your dioramas always have! Miniaturising junk and detritus is so difficult - at the level of detail you display - but I have to say you have it nailed!! In a word, brilliant!
