"SHATTERED"

[Si Benson]

Morning Jim,
What you’ve created, brings home the horrendous conditions brought about by war.
Excellent modelling in being able to create this tastefully sir :thumb2:

In the nicest possible way:
That is nasty. Just like war is. You have a talent for provoking thought in your 'killing ground' dioramas.
Great work Jim.

Thanks so much guys, it's comments such as yours that gives me the mo-jo to keep on with it.
Thanks again...Jim:hugging-face:

Great dio once more Jim, you seem to capture the emotion just right.:thumb2::thumb2:

Agree with you on the lone soldier, more fitting the title.

Thank you so much Fernando.
I agree, I was going to put in a wounded soldier also, but the whole thing was starting to get crowded a bit so I decided
the lonely aspect of it would be more suiting. Plus it simplifies things a bit and allows me to lend more effort to the atmospheric side of it.

I tend to be a bit of a dramatist in my dios, for better or ill, that's just me.

Thanks as always for your kind attention.

UPDATE:

Getting a bit out of control here and somehow am turning this into a botanical study
I just did grungy desert grounds work in Stairway and Tipperary dios so....I figured I would some fun creating some flora.

Will try to incorporate even some flowers maybe, contrasting against the blackened Hell of war.

Still haven't found much time for modelling lately, puttering about and kibitzing with this and that for Mamma keeps me busy at the mo.
Plus lets me get it out of the way:smirk:
Thanks for looking in....Jim:smiling4:

UPDATE:

Filling in veg, frozen landscape makes it hard to collect tidbits from nature.
Luckily had some stuff left over from last year, did not want to over do flowers, did just enough to show.

Still a lot of work to go, especially on tractor and soldier and grave sites.
Just taking my time and having fun while I still can.

Hi Jim
Coming on a treat. I also think the single soldier is the way to go. Wrecked half track is so realistic. You are exceptionally good at showing the terrible side of war.

Thanks Jim, though this one seems to be becoming a treatise on gardening:rolling:
