Ok, i made the word up, but it sort of explaines what I am planning for this project.
A few years ago I made a diorama depicting troops getting into one of the 'little boats' of Dunkirk, and a couple of vignettes depicting troops returning from Dunkirk. For this project, which is going to take a while, i am planning 6 vignettes which depict different aspects of Dunkirk, each will probably only have 3 figures, and only be about 3 inches by 4 inches In size.
the six will be:
Rearguard - an MG behind a barricade of sandbags,
The Dunes - three figures sheltering in the sand dunes,
Little boat - a couple of soldier boarding a 'little ship"
Dover - the remake of one I have made, a couple of soldiers walking down the gangplank off a ship at Dover,
Train - Soldiers in a railway carriage waving through the open door window
Prisoners - a couple of captured British soldiers under a German guard.
i think that together these will represent most of the key aspects of Dunkirk and should look quite good when displayed together in a vingettorama.
The order to build them is not important but I think I will try to build them in the order listed above, roughly cronological So first off will be 'The rearguard".
