1/35 Russian Front "The Forgotten Sacrifice"

[Guest]

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

[papa 695]

That is just Awesome

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

He has lived longer, soon he will too old and dodgy and the modeling crown will pass to you!

We all crit our own pieces, what looks bad in our eyes others see differently.

Thank you all again am personally not quite satisfied with some of the tinting and hues , but will get to work on it and re-post changes soon enough, hope not to bore though, just excited to talk with others with same interests, family and friends just roll their eyes and try to be polite to the old geezer and his 'toys' UGHHH!

Glad your going to sort it out, those shoddy tints and hues were making it a bit of an eye sore :P

In 1941 when HItler ordered operation Babarosa he never had an inching of the true might of the red army and as the war progressed the hatred and the personal sacrifice of all Russians was felt to push back the jack boot


WHat you have created here is the pure might of the Red Army. The 88 would have been a formidable opponent but it's in one place and cannot be moved as easily as the Germans would want and once the T 34 zeros it's 76mm gun then two or 3 rounds silences the 88.


The sacrifice for that ground is shown by the dead German soldiers not able to keep up the attack and push of Stalins might. Less and less tanks are being put on the front line and the had tracks have to make do the gap but still fail miserably.


The sheer might of the Rusian Army is too much and the equipment is left as the Germans retreat back to home ground.


Jim your vehicles and DIo tells such a vivid story of battle at its worst, and shows the sacrifice that soldiers made and the weather conditions they fought in. It is shown in the faces which you have superbly demonstrated in your face painting.


The dirt and vehicles bogged down in the mud is very typical of Russian weather


An awesome build with oodles of character and showing the true sacrifice of war fare


Regards

hes my father hence the eh review he has the best gritty dirty technique ive ever seen and wish I could emulate. Wait for some more of his stuff when I said ive seen better its because ive seen all his work and he has better ones!

I wondered, I thought maybe you were 'friends' and just like to wind each other up but a father needs to earn his respect Damnit.

[Guest]

Just think how many of these you could build living in the shed. Not much company in there but we'd sure get to see more amazing dio's from you.
