Hi grumpa

I'm in awe of this, it must be huge. How long did it take?

It's well worth looking through every pic, is the guy on the ass end of the mule a German?

The veggies are a fantastic touch, the bodies in the mud also looks great.

Thanks for sharing this, top shelf.

Thanks Aaron. Appreciate your comments. All living are Russian - all dead are German. Lots more to come.

That's one very cool diorama, it tells a story and gives a sense of how ugly things could get. I like it.

Haha, I was like "wow that's harsh" My wife picked up it was a joke of some sort.

You fooled me mate and I'm so glad it was done in jest, not spite.

I would never give anyone a bad review. If I see something I don't like or doesn't impress me , I just move on. We all have our own skill sets and techniques. If the person who builds it enjoyed the build and is happy with their results that's all that matters. FYI I hope he posts his Churchill diorama soon. Its my favorite of his and is just unbelievably awesome. And its old!

He built it when I was a kid and its just superb. I try to make my stuff look as good as his but "in my eyes " its just not even close.

Very gruesome and the most realistic depiction of war ive ever seen in a dio , this is very a very somber piece which is brilliant and emotional and I'm in awe

A great piece of work depicting a very harsh environment, superb skills and a pleasure to view despite the carnage. Well done.
