"SHATTERED"

[grumpa]

Basic layout set, much doodling to be done.
I think the name speaks for itself, the mightiest of world events pales to the insignificant when compared to having to lay to rest your comrades.

A thought provoking scene, very tastefully done Jim

Cracking start Jim

Hi folks, getting some debris down, bits of flower pot detritus mixed with a heavy dose of white glue and black craft paint.
Trying to duplicate that jumbled kind of chaotic mess one often sees in photos of wrecked vehicles.

Will also ad some veg here and there and maybe a little barbed wire fencing along ridge.
Not sure if woman figure will be included anymore, it seems to me the lonely figure overcome with grief lends itself more to the title.

More detail will be added to chassis of tractor, unspun winch cable and some other sorts of twisted framework of something,
depends on what imagination and the scraps box can come up with.

Long way to go, thanks for looking in.....Jim

In the nicest possible way:
That is nasty. Just like war is. You have a talent for provoking thought in your 'killing ground' dioramas.
Great work Jim.

Morning Jim,
What you’ve created, brings home the horrendous conditions brought about by war.
Excellent modelling in being able to create this tastefully sir

Thanks again...Jim

Great dio once more Jim, you seem to capture the emotion just right.

Agree with you on the lone soldier, more fitting the title.

Thank you so much Fernando.
I agree, I was going to put in a wounded soldier also, but the whole thing was starting to get crowded a bit so I decided
the lonely aspect of it would be more suiting. Plus it simplifies things a bit and allows me to lend more effort to the atmospheric side of it.

I tend to be a bit of a dramatist in my dios, for better or ill, that's just me.

Thanks as always for your kind attention.

Jim

UPDATE:

Getting a bit out of control here and somehow am turning this into a botanical study
I just did grungy desert grounds work in Stairway and Tipperary dios so....I figured I would some fun creating some flora.

Will try to incorporate even some flowers maybe, contrasting against the blackened Hell of war.

Still haven't found much time for modelling lately, puttering about and kibitzing with this and that for Mamma keeps me busy at the mo.
Plus lets me get it out of the way:smirk:
Thanks for looking in....Jim
