Finished - "Lasst Ihn Sausen"?


Recommended Posts

I have been busy, for quite some time, with a rather large project: good (?) ol' Custom Dioramics railwaystation and signal tower. I Wanted to populate this station with a locomotive. First Baluard tpy 75 with coach came in to mind, but then I came across the much more detailed BR-52 from Trumpeter. Though no place for a coach left, I decided to use this one instead.  During the war, the German propagande engine reportedly made a short movie, to be shown in cinema's, called "Lasst Ihn Sausen". This can be translated as "Let them whiz". The idea behind this dio is that the locomotive is just doing the opposite: wait till higher powers decide to let it pass. In the mean while, the driver does some maintainance and the stoker cleans up some of the mess he made. The plattform is filling up with passengers, as other trains are delayed in their turn... The figures are a mixed bunch of resin and plastic from different manufacturers, such as Preiser, Stalingrad, MiniArt, Mk35, etc. Same goes for the accessories..

@Clogged: Aside from the locomotive (how long that one took, I really can't tell, since I had a break of about 10 years from building) the whole process  of painting the loc, building the interrior of the station and signal tower, ect. Took me 2 years. Painting the figures alone (of which there are 40 +1 cat and 1 dog), took me more than 6 months.

 

@Kev The Modeller: Thank you for your kind words... 

 

@#mosquito fighter Thank you. All is in 1:35 scale...

Hi Golikell,

I missed this one, what with being busy with my own work, but WOW!

 

.

That's what I call a 'proper' diorama! Full of lot's of individual little scenes/stories, which seem to say 'life goes on, even during war.' But these seemingly 'normal' scenes give the loco a real sense of menace, idling forr now, but a huge and powerful brute, just waiting to be unleashed.

 

Excellent work.

 

Rearguards,

Badder

@Badder You exactly phrased (about the figures at least) what  wanted to convey. Eacht figure has his/her own story, yet their projected rail travel or working day at the station, where this journey starts, is what binds them. Just as in real life... :)

Yes, what they all said goes for me too. Very impressive.

No one else mentioned the platform, how the bricks/tiles are uneven as if worn down and well used. Attention to detail pays off! Lovely.

@FrancisGLI also thank you for the compliments. It was exactly my goal to create just this. A scene which really shows the oppression of a police state, while people desperately try to pretend there is nothing wrong.
