Eastern Front Diorama WW2 - 1/35

[@scaleffect]

Another great looking piece. The supplies on the shelf are a intriguing detail for the observer.

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

thank you very much!!!!

[@AndrewRobinson-b8y]

Fantastic work. The machine gun man was normally the more senior soldier and would have one or two other soldiers helping him. Lovely model well done

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

Thank you very much for your words !!!! 😊🙏

Una maqueta cargada con una abrumadora y dramática historia. Un ametrallador alemán, escrutando solitariamente el frente con la mira de su letal MG-42. Nos habla de la terrible soledad y el vacío que debieron haber sentido los soldados tanto rusos como alemanes en la aterradora inmensidad de lo que fuera por años, un verdadero infierno en la Tierra, el temible frente oriental. ¡Que bellísimo trabajo! Obra de un talento sin igual y bellamente ejecutado al estilo de la "vieja escuela" del modelismo, sin tener que asistirse del photoetched o de otros kits de mejoramiento. Que placer ver una obra de arte en miniatura, que atrapa la vista y a la vez alegra los sentidos. Felicitaciones por esta bellísima obra de arte. Saludos cordiales para ti estimado maestro modelista, desde Guatemala, la Tierra del Quetzal, símbolo de la Libertad.

It's good but I think it needs At least one more figure. Maybe a guy carrying a comrade running thru the trench. Pretty nice resin figures out there.

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

Thanks for your advice, i'll keep it in mind for yhe next diorama 😊🪖. It's not resin figure, i made it myself from epoxy putty 😁

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

@@dutchman8129 good idea! 🔥

[@baubrycps]

Can I ask a couple questions. I’m getting back in the hobby after many many years. What is the whitish grey stuff you put over the foam called and lastly what did you use for the shell casings

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

@@baubrycps That's wonderful! This mesh is specifically designed for drywall. It is used to hold the plaster in place. For the shell casings, I used very thin wire, which I painted gold :) I hope I helped you!

I loved this mini figure simulating a trench, I find these historical wars and such very interesting. I'll give you some advice, when you're going to make another figure like this, you could add more figures or craters simulating the destruction of the missiles or even a tree or a second figure, I'd like cool!

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

Thank you very much for your kind words!🙏🔥 I will definitely create this type of diorama again. For this one, I wanted to keep it simple without overwhelming the final image. :)

D'après les histoires de ma famille qui on vécu 14/18 et 39/45 et par ma grande mère qui a vécu la guerre 1870 alors qu'elle avec 12 ans. Je dois pas oublier les souffrances humaines qui soit Allemands ou Français, Belge et Anglais et Américain ,,,. Grâce a vos œuvre qui feront réfléchir que la guerre! et la plus grosse connerie, une industrie de la mort organisé où on ne peut plus avoir le choix de prendre les armes pour mourir bêtement a essayé a participé, le peux qu'on puis faire a arrêté cette folie, bien que nous alimentant a assassiné des personnes inconnus. Sous la terre des champs du nord de la France! Il y a encore beaucoup de soldats d'inconnus qui repose sens sépulture. Beaucoup d'os de soldats qui on était qui on était éparpillés sur plusieurs 100 ème de mettre qui est impossible a reconstituer pour mettre en sépulture. Ou encore on trouve des petits os humains dans le département de la Somme, Oise, Laine,

[@pierreolivier7022]

🇨🇵🙂 According to the stories of my family who lived 14/18 and 39/45 and by my grandmother who lived through the 1870 war when she was 12 years old. I must not forget the human suffering whether German or French, Belgian and English and American,,,. Thanks to your works which will make you think about war! and the biggest stupidity, an industry of organized death where we can no longer have the choice to take up arms to die stupidly, we tried to participate, the little we can do has stopped this madness, although feeding us has murdered unknown people. Under the earth of the fields of northern France! There are still many unknown soldiers resting meaning grave. Many bones of soldiers who we were who we were scattered over several hundredths of places which are impossible to reconstitute for burial. Or we find small human bones in the department of Somme, Oise, Laine,

[@Mr.OctopusModels]

@@pierreolivier7022 Thank you for sharing that. The stories of those who lived through the wars remind us of the profound human suffering endured by people of all nations.

[@arijanrietkerk3932]

The drum ammo box holds 50 rounds. The MG 42 spits out 1.550 rounds per minute, thats roughly 25 rounds per second. Thats why you need ammo boxes...............a lot of ammo boxes.
