RAT WAR - Building a 1/35 STALINGRAD Diorama featuring TAMIYA Figures - Full Build Version 

Thank you so much, very kind.👍

Thank you very much😄 but it is not the result it is the way that counts. Keep on and have fun.👍👍

Damn this diorama teleports you in stalingrad!

Thanks Kostas.

Don't compare your own work to others, only use there's as inspiration and only compare your current piece to your last and you will see just how great you are 👍🏼🤘🏼👌🏼

Me too.

I hope unreal in a positive way.

@@DIORAMUS- Meaning it fit perfectly with the scene.

That is nice. 😁

Thanks Paul and have a nice weekend.

Thank you very much Cengiz. This is the most satisfying feedback for me. Highly appreciated. 😁

Thank you! Cheers!, Al.

Thank you so much Gattobuono. Now I know that my sketching abilities were not useless for the presentation of this project. First I did not want to show my plannings because I thought they were not interesting enough. Nice.

@@DIORAMUS- Not interesting enough! No, I love the planning stage! Even better would be if you added in some of the reference that you use for inspiration. I'm a texture artist/map/vehicle maker for a mod for the game Battlefield 2, and I spend hours searching for and using reference photos and videos. Most RU-vid diorama makers give the impression that they just sit down and invent all of this stuff out of thin air. Your video felt much more 'complete'. By the way, your figure painting is excellent!

@@Gattobuono I think most AFV modellers don´t know much about composition of a scenery. They concentrate too much on the technical aspects. My goal is to combine the technical issue with the artistical issue of scale modelling. In absence of enough RU-vid income I build most of my works on commission. I hope I can show more independent projects in the future. Thanks again for your nice and inspiring comment.

@@DIORAMUS- You're welcome. Glad I discovered your channel. :-)

Thanks Anakin, the force is with you. 😁

Thanks Chris and have a nice weekend.

Thank you Sergej.

I hope you can fulfill your wish some day.

Thanks for your nice comment. Great.👍

THX for your nice comments CW.👍👍

Thank you very much and thx for your sub.👍

That is an incredible awesome story. Thanks for sharing this memory with us. My first contact with Verlinden was 1983 but not in a personal way. A friend gave me Verlindens german book publication "Super-Dioramen von Francois Verlinden" from 1981. It is still impressive how Verlinden creates all of his fabulous dioramas without all today available aftermarket kits. Nobody knew at the time what would become of it. Still I´m a big fan and the book is placed since now on my bookshelf. Again, thank you very much and many greetings to you..

@@DIORAMUS- I remember making the first Verlinden way in his modeling room on the first floor of his shop in Lier on Thursday evenings for starters but I can't remember who translated it in German. Must have been Peddinghaus or someone related to him because I remember him stopping by at the shop regularly..

For Info: the german Verlinden Way was published in Germany by Alba Buchverlag, translated by Kurt Harrer. Published in January 1981. Maybe interesting for you.

@@DIORAMUS- Thanks for letting me know, I did not know that.... didn't even know it was published in German...

Thank you so much my friend. Have a nice weekend.

Hey Kuba, thank you so much.

Thank you very much and an extra thanx for the sub. Nice.

Hey Wayne, I wish you all the best for your homebuilt. My longterm plan is to immigrate to U.S. someday. I hope I can generate a decent amount of money with my art and this channel. Until then please take care of yourself and you can follow me and my way of success. 😁 (or maybe downfall?)😂 See you and stay tuned.

Thank you very much and sorry for the late response. Great that you like this little scene. Many thanks again and have a nice weekend.

Thx for the sub, Big Al and keep on crushing.👍

Thank you very much Jiri.

Do you want only rubble and debris on your train scenery? :-)

@@DIORAMUS- everything, where are you located?

Nice to hear. I am from Germany. Make me rich and famous and I will work for you wherever you want. 😂

Yep, 😁👍

Thanks Bear but nobody would pay for my working time. This Dio took almost 100 hours in the making. How much is it worth for you? No joke. It is for sale. Make me an offer. Sent it to. dioramus@t-online.de

Firstly I live in the USA so shipping would be a nightmare with those sandbags you hid to add weight. Secondly, could you do a smaller version, just the tunnel/sewer exit and 3 figures. It is a beautiful piece of artwork. I might make a 28mm Bolt Action version.

It is not so heavy as you think. I estimate the shipping costs with round about 50 Dollars. I can check it tomorrow if you want. The problem is the safety of the shipment. I have to construct a safe box and this box must be much bigger than the content.

Hello Luka, do you mean the 369. Croatian Infantry regiment? As I was informed the uniforms were quiet similar to the german ones. The only difference was an arm patch wih the croatian insignias. Correct me if I´m wrong. Anyway, many thanks for your suggestion and the rememberance of this men should be preserved. Maybe someday I build a diorama with croatian soldiers but not in the near future. Sorry, but it is in my mind.

Okey😉

Vielen Dank.

Thank you my friend.

😄 Maybe.🤣

Hello Netty. This is ordinary fine-pored insulation foam. You can find it in every hardware store in the insulation department or look for providers in the internet.

Yes I still need them.

I ordered the sign from a plates and signs online shop. For example here in Germany it is called "Schildermaxe" . 😔 Shame on me but I am too lazy to fabricate them on my own.

@@DIORAMUS- Danke für die Info ;) wusste nicht, dass du deutsch bist.

Ich bin froh über jeden Kontakt aus der Nachbarschaft. 😉 Schon mal schönes Wochenende.

Hello Doc. Thx as always.

Hello Igor and thank you for your nice comments.

Sorry my Friend I need more input.

Now I see the snow symbol. First I watched your comment on my cell phone and this only showed a wheel. I don´t want to cover all the fine details with snow. It was the phase of the battle without snow. Streetfights started in September 1942. Strong snowfall starts mid November 1942. So my diorama shows a scene before the snowfall began. Anyway, thx for your question.

Hey Denise, Thx for your care.😁 I wish you all the best for your start and hopefully a lot of fun. 👍👍

Thank you so much my friend.
