Very nice. Clever use of the standard figures in a different pose.

Cheers

I agree - very cool use of stock poses. Nice details, straps, personal gear, boxes etc. Overall very nice.
Comment on the next one - bend the branches - they look a bit stiff and to 90 degrees (straight out). I would not have put snow the AA because snow would get in the way of use or get brushed off during use. Just a nit pic. Overall - very cool.

Thank you all! I will keep in mind all your tips for next dio. And I do not like this tree eather, but it was the best I could at the moment, now I have practiced with next ones and they look better.

Sometimes if the wind blows from the right angle the ice and snow climbs like that - at least here in Estonia ( sometimes ).

Good job on the diorama. It is full of the sad meaninglessness of war. With the title I can almost how the soldiers must have felt it on Christmas eve.

Good job on the figures and the snow.

Thanks for sharing
