Here is the finished diorama of our hero 'Ernst'.
The soldiers guarding the village have been ordered to pull out. Ernst's comrades are trying to find him. Hearing someone moving below he has quickly resumed his 'On guard posture' when really he's been asleep in the..........?
I started this with just a funny notion....I wanted a figure to be doing something slightly different and came up with Ernst!
I won't go through the specifics of the build, although the basics have been explained during the construction, but I will start a 'How to' in the next few days, so I can go through the stages in more detail.
I used some Tamiya 1/35 German Grenadiers for the figures, which I had in my box of tricks. The buildings around the model are the three I made as my first attempt at buildings (This being my third) You will notice I moved them around to suit the photos. I didn't want to wreck these, so they are just a back drop to hide my wall paper! Cheating I know but....
I have taken some photos in colour, some in B/W.
I'm afraid I couldn't resist the temptation to have a play and alter the poses of the figures, so I have included these at the end as well...hence the far too many pictures......What the heck, the sun is shining and the Daffodils are nearly out!
I hope you like my diorama, it was great fun building, and wrecking.
All comments, good, bad, neutral, will all be gratefully received.
Once again I apologies for the photo overload and it looks like a bit of repetition has crept in too.
I've also just noticed I have got the main title wrong as well......I need a beer!
Cheers,
Ron
