JRutman Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks Matt and Kevin for the kind words and for taking the time to check in. I spent all morning fixing the damage caused from the cat attack. I took a suggestion someone offered from armorama and turned over the mess kit top and added spilled grub of some kind plus put some spilled water under the canteen cup to"add to the urgency". Also made the missing aiming stake. Edited April 27, 2011 by JRutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're restless, Jerry. It's pure joy to follow your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Definatly some masterfull diorama work here Jerry. What I find difficult (but interesting) in making dioramas is that you must be "good" in every technical aspect such as assembly, painting, etc... for every single part of the dio from accessories to figures eventually including armor, aircraft, ground work, etc... but also you need a nice sens of creativity, imagination, presentation to be able to tell a "living" story from a static display.... etc... and this all requires a lot of competences that you obviously all master. Wonderfull job my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Thats really nice work. This reminds me of a scene you might see during the Russian summer, perhaps during the Kursk offensive in '43. Since this is a Lefh 18/40,which didn't get into service until early 43, it really couldn't be much earlier than summer of 43. LOTS of artillery used then by both sides, in very warm weather.

Cheers Jason That is what I was aiming for. The Russian summer44 offensive"Bagration". Resulted in the "erasing" of Army Group Center and pushed the front back hundreds of Km.

fam43 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi J, you've a hand with realistic scenes. I can't build figures too well. So I'm happy when no folks are around on my vignettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 You should keep at it as you will get better each time. All of your other work is so good why wouldn't your figs get just as good? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Your diorama is full of expression and creativity Jerry - I really like it when you can look at any part of a diorama and each is a mini-diorama in it's own right...I could spend forever just pouring over all of those incredibly intricate and personally crated details. Derek (PS I know it's a little corny, but I like Jeron's idea of a Jerry can...It could become some form of trademark ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for looking in Derek,I think that you 2 may be on to something with that Jerry can. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobG Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sweet, so many times you see dios with figures that are stiff and lifeless, here, you can see and feel the action, excitement and urgency of the moment, everyone, except the cool and calm aimer making sure he's on target. Fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
