   What a work of art; it's got it all Borsos, you have done an absolutely splendid job! I have never done a Diorama but have read often that it first must tell a story. You have more then achieved that aim. Brilliant!

Fantastic Diorama Andreas. As mentioned your work of art has it all. The story is well represented by your arrangement. The figures and especially the scratch built aircraft are amazing!

This is just beautiful, the "letter" to start your post actually brought tears to my eyes. It's a  perfect tribute to all who lost their lives, no matter which side they fought on and a great display of the futility of war.
Congratulations!

Excellent in every aspect! I'd like to see this gem in reality (perhaps in Lingen... ;)?)

Glückwunsch,

You showed great drama of the war.
What you show is mastery of modeling.

My apologies Borsos but I missed this being completed. This is modelling of a standard of which I dream - and wish, oh I wish - that I had the skill to achieve it.

Your introduction was so poignant - how many mothers/fathers received that form of communication? Too many.

The figures, car, motorcycle and crashed aircraft are so realistic - in b&w they could easily pass for the real thing. The time you have spent on this was very worthwhile and I for one have greatly enjoyed following your thread. I have also learned much - thank you.
