Hi all!
This is my new little dio "Short Sleep". I used Stalingrad figures (my sculpt), Zvezda mortars, tempera paints, MIG pigments, flax and bristle for grass.
I was inspired of wartime photo and try show autumn spirit.

Outstanding work!!
Hits all of the attributes of a great diorama - a one-glance scene; a title that conveys the storyline; poses which demonstrate the story; appropriate scenery/context; and outstanding workmanship. The addition of the picture enhances the impact of the miniature when viewed on the table.
The colors are also in harmony - nothing out of place to distract the eye.
Congratulations, Alexander, on an excellent example of miniature art.
Best regards, Don

Lovely work ,great subject and fantastic groundwork .

Great idea and awesome diorama.

Very nice Alexander I really like the ground work!

Nice work. The ground work is excellent.

You certainly did your inspiration justice. That is a diorama of the first order.

Very simple, yet outstanding , awsome work

This truly is some brilliant work Alexander! I love how you depict the exhaustion of the soldiers and the autumn atmosphere. Just brilliant.

Let me take the opportunity to congratulate you on your other Stalingrad sculpts. They have something different!

Cheers,
Adrian

Alexander, congratulations. . .

Oh my, this is such fine work, and in such a small scale. Your composition
and your terrain is so outstanding.

For me, another example of how this hobby can be raised to an art form.

Congratulations, Alexander! Oh yes, and the photographs are beautiful,
as they really create the atmosphere, and set the scene to display your
beautiful craftsmenship.

You have captured a little slice of human misery there...they look cold, wet and exhausted...superb

There's a story here. Amazing work.

Very nice job

Lovely vignette, and the scenery is spot on.
