"Love Thy neighbour"- Part 2- 1/35

[Muchmirth]

Finally finished the second part of my large diorama Liebe Deinen Nacthsten/Love thy neighbour and now hopefully Part one will make more sense. 20 figures, tamiya m8 greyhound, m10 wolverine, willys jeep. Its scratch built building and base and its all brush painted. I used the mini art  garage set and beer bottles crates, the czech hedgehog is from Tamiya and barb wire from yan models, the rest I made. The figures are tamiya, mini art with hornets heads, bravo six and royal models. I adapted the some of the figures, the jeep driver had his arm remoulded to be the machine gunner on watch outside the gasthoff, the M10 gun loader is the m8 beer loader! The m10 gunner is now the jeep mechanic. I added a walking stick and bag to the civilian.

  Took a year on and off for both parts to complete. All feedback welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added the camo net, made from a hair net and treated moss I made the sandbags from milliput and the rickety stowage holder from styrene. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The guy with dark hair and his back turned is cheating at cards, note the cards tucked under his elbow!

The back:

 

A few pics of how part one fits in with part two:

 

 

 

 

These guys have started realise that their neighbours might not just be so friendly as they hear the Glen Miller being played from nextdoor.

 

 

I made it so that the two parts of the broken church steeple fit together once both boards are lined up:

 

 

The link to part one is below:

 

 

 

Sorry its bit photo heavy and the quality of my pics aren't great as I really need to upgrade my camera at some stage.

 

All the best for now,

Paul

full of stories in every corner of diorama.

There’s so much going on there and lots of little stories, but I loved the reveal when you realise that there’s something going on round the back!

Very entertaining detail! You will have a scrap box full of figures and stuff, won't you? 'Liebe Deinen Nächsten' or for those that miss a few letters on their keyboard: 'Naechsten'.

I do have a box of scrap but always end up finding a use…. Apologies for the poor spelling, that’s what you get for not finishing gcse German!! I checked on line but not now atleast I know what it should have been.

Thanks
