Title: The Pigs Are Coming...!" (Ukraine 1941)
Post by: Borsos on May 05, 2022, 01:01:15 AM

Dear all,

after my job cut my bench time fundamentally I never had thought to be able to finish anything. I have so many ongoing projects. Large airplane projects (especially demanding ones, containing more than one wing and rigging, ...) are out of the question at the time, therefore I focus on smaller projects like cars and AFVs.
This one I started eternities ago and ICMs Opel Kapitän staff car was put on the shelf of doom for so long. Recent events brought me to pick it up again and finish it. There are so many pigs stomping through the Ukraine...
I must say I heavily admire the diorama works of Per Olav Lund and also the ambiguity of the vignette's title was inspired by one of his works.

Hopefully the pigs will sink in the mud again today!

Brilliant, beautiful work Andreas!  I love the car, the figures, the fence, etc.

Another of your super vignettes. The title seems particularly apt in more ways than one!

A very imaginative diorama and nicely detailed but the title, especially given current events, could be open to comments not related to this model.

Folks, we are watching this thread and ask everyone to avoid making any modern comparisons. Let's just focus on a very creative diorama.
