[@tomtruesdale6901]

What an interesting method for building a diorama. Very slick way to incorporate the model into the book.

Thanks for that Tom, hopefully it’ll turn out well - cheers🙂👍

Great project Simon, looking forward to seeing it develop 👍

Cheers Ian, appreciated as always my friend☺👍

I've already written it to you, but now again, an amazing idea, I respect you🙏 I'm looking forward to implementing it. Greetings Thomas😀👍🏻🤗

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi Thomas, thank you again..😊 Your models are so brilliantly done & inspiring to others, it really is a compliment coming from you😌Hopefully I can do this one justice! Cheers, it’s appreciated👍

[@lawrencereid9375]

Not only are your projects INCREDIBLY clever, creative and outstandingly crafted but you also manage to supply an immense amount of history in your videos. THANK YOU for your museums tour in the Ypres area. EXCELLENT and SO enjoyable!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi Lawrence, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the museums video, tbh I had no real intention in making one for Ypres originally, hence why it’s mostly images & not video. But it tied in well with the project obviously, nice going through old images to try recreate a piece of history …🤗 Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated 🙂👍

[@joramamodellbau3987]

A good idea for a special project, Simon. I think, your implementation will become a mirror image of the events of the processes of the great war. Wish you a good time at the workbench. Greetings, Joachim

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks so much Joachim, appreciate your comment, it’s something a little different 🙂👍

[@cerisekappes580]

Thank you for sharing your trip. Very inspiring. This is going to be a gorgeous diorama 😊😊😊

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks Cerise, it really was a great visit, some amazing historical places! Thanks for the comment, I’ve got a few nice ideas for detailing the trench..….and the edging too🤫😏👍

@@Barbarossamodels you are welcome 🤗 I look forward to it!!

[@stinkybingus_shellshockers]

I really like this idea, I might try it with another one of my copies of all quiet on the western front. Really nice job here👍👍

Thank you…🙂👍

Thank you Tim 🙂🙏

Heureux d'apprendre que vous êtes venu dans mon pays pour chercher votre inspiration. Moi j'habite à l'opposé du pays, à Liège, à l'entrée des Ardennes et de l'offensive "Battle of the Bulge" WW2 ... Très belle idée le bouquin avec les tranchées ... Bien vite la prochaine vidéo.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Merci beaucoup Daniel. It was an amazing trip to Belgium❤ I worked in Mechelen when I was 18, so it was nice to go back…🇧🇪🤗

[@robbo1068]

The visit to those battlefields must have given you such inspiration that cannot be provided by a book....this will be a project to be followed most definitely. What a ghastly way to live....and die!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks as always Robbo, yes it was amazing place to visit, incredible to imagine life there 110 years ago…. Would definitely recommend

[@scottmccloud9029]

That's gonna be so slick. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you Scott, looking forward to tackling that trench…☺️👍

@@Barbarossamodels Watch out for the mud. You've definitely got talent.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers, appreciate that☺️

[@rabidspace6951]

Awesome work mate! Looks really cool, and is a decent idea! Though personally I won't be cutting up any of my book collection anytime soon lol

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi, thanks bud🙂👍 To be fair, as I’d bought the second book it didn’t seem so harsh to cut that one up. The original was such a good read I had to keep it!

[@karlflavell968]

TRy ironing the book to see if it'll flatten the pages.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks Karl, actually you might be onto something there 🤔 I’m going to give that a go, on a low setting with a tea towel in between….thanks👍

[@Barbarossamodels]

If you don’t see any more videos on this, then you know it didn’t work out ….🫠😁

[@51WCDodge]

Have you got Ian Ronayne's book The Jersey Pals, Ours?

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi, no I haven’t got that one, tbh I’ve 4 books varying from Stalingrad to Passchendaele to get through first, but I’ll keep a look out for it👀👍

[@51WCDodge]

@@Barbarossamodels It is very relevant to this project. RMIJ in the Great War.

Compelling subject matter

[@Barbarossamodels]

Yes indeed Matt - thanks🙂
