discussion 1/72 "Onwards Comrade!" Belorussia, 1944

[spanner570]

Here are photos of the finished diorama.


I make no apologies for the picture of Hitler. It's history....


The Russian ISU-122 has just passed the wreck of a German tank, The Tiger tried to hide amongst the farm buildings, but was spotted and dealt with during the Russian relentless push westward....

Hi Ron,

Great job on the Tiger love the weathering and the overall appearance of the diorama


Cheers Richi

 

[Guest]

A cracking little dio there Ron! It's got all your trademarks : excellent models, the base made from household & garden materials, plus it tells a story.

 

[Robert1968]

Fantastic it shows and tells such a story and yes people may not approve of Mr hitler pics etc but I say history is history and when we modellers want to express a scene we cannot please everyone....... It happened!!


Love the tiger and how you expressed it in a shot up tank and let's face it the 122 could ,match a tiger any day!!

 

[yak face]

Excellent job Ron , i love this diddy dio. The damaged Tiger looks just like you would expect it to after taking a close hit from a big gun like the isu 122 , and the buildings and base are fantastically done. Great job , cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Dont hate me for throwing a ying yang at you........ But that is outstanding, the whole thing looks just right.... Very real..... Good photos as well.

 

[bazers]

[Guest]

Great work as always Ron, I really envy your hand painting kills. Derek

 

[monica]

do real like this One the,building damage is very realistic,and ties into the damage on the tiger,very well


done ,great job on the whole scene, and like the added detail as well with the dead crew trying to get out of


the tank and the poster as well,and i dont have any problem with it at all,as you should know,


its what was and will always remain,top class Dio,lov it,

 

[flyjoe180]

Great work Ron. Captured the moment nicely I feel.

 

[colin m]

Top job again Ron. Every dio' you do makes me think I should have a go at one of these.

 

[Guest]

This is great, Ron. The way the Tiger wheels have caved in looks really realistic, and it's another one where you have a double take when you see it's in 1/72.

 

[Guest]

Stunning work Ron, I prefer the b&w photo's gives it a bit more drama.

 

[john i am]
