This person needs a life

[ShotMagnet]

Too much time, and too much talent.

 

And it probably goes without saying that I'm simultaneously awed, stunned, and jealous.

Wow!

What struck me, amongst other things, was the extraordinary attention to detail.

 

There's a chaplain giving services, there are a brace of guys playing pool, there's the hole in the hotel that another modeler might have left at 'hole' and not bothered to include damage-induced sag, etc. I could spend the next month or so looking at the shots, and not glean from them every detail.

But as many such dioramas the guy went overboard. If the life is so peaceful why is there a sniper looking for targets and the guy looking through binoculars? It's a common mistake I've seen on many dioramas - no consistency. But other than that is is good (through I personally like smaller dioramas which are more tight and tell a story better).

Same here, but I am still most impressed by this diorama.

 

Maybe the sniper was sniping at the common European hare to supplement their meager rations?

Good one, Thomas!

 

Nothing like keeping the skills sharp and getting a meal at the same time, right?

Or he and the guy with trieder are having a look through windows on the undressing of local population of female persuasion in nearby village?

Life isn't so peaceful, judging by the POWs who are still kicking cans in the attic.

 

As for the sniper, almost no imagination is required to support the notion that some junior-grade officer told that man (perhaps as a matter of doctrine) to look for targets. A fraction more imagination says that maybe the sniper might creatively interpret 'targets' to include, as mentioned, potential hasenpfeffer. Plus, snipers are excellent scouts and/or OPs, and the war isn't over just yet.

Hey! that diorama could be the base for one of the long-departed TankNet collective stories. One that could begin like

 

Corporal Hawkeye was watching by the Unertl-made sight of his trusty Springfield M1903 the bramble bush where a young hare had disappeared into when suddenly...
