Historical Dioramas And Figurines.

[Dolf]

And another one, even more elaborated than the previous one, and with a lot more scratch building: The river for example, the bridge, the entire interior of the house, the door, the windows, and quite a few other small details.

This one is called "Ambush". It's a scene early in the war, not far from Cherbourg, France.
Actually there are some scratch built sticks of dynamite under the bridge, connected to a detonator handled by the partisan with a blue jacket, so if this was a picture it would be taken just before the big explosion... Just waiting the sign of the partisan leader, the one with the binoculars.

People have some amazing hobbies these days!

William,

Nice topic, thanks to bring it up :thumbsup

Btw, this is not a new hobby, but a very old one instead, only new techniques, new materials, and of course much more info.

All those examples shown above, I made them many years ago, they are just some of the rare survivors of many house movings
Still have plenty in their boxes that I planned to do after retiring, but now I realize my eyes will never allow me some details as in the past
