I know I`m a bit late on enlisting in the Barbarossa built but It took me a bit long in making up a nice concept for it
Suddenly I had it. I wanted to make a BMW motor that got stuck in the road. During the Barbarossa campaign the germans encounter a nice Fall wich turned the roads into mudpools (this period of time is called "RASPUTITSA" by the russians and so was the name for this dio born) wich slowed the complete advance of the germans. Now my scene is the smallest dio I have ever built 7,3 by 7,3 cm and depicts a BMW motor with sidecar stuck in the road. Next to it there are some boots (one on the sidecar side and two on the Drivers side) wich the crew lost while trying to get out of the mess. The last thing was more added due to a more humorous aspect.

Here are the pics



As always I like to hear all feedback people

Ola Rob! That is just too funny. I knew it would be great when you described it in chat. Man that is small! I couldn't do anything that small. Anyway, great job ...hard to find anything to nitpick about.

Faust:

This is an interesting concept for a dio---very imaginative! Taking a well built and painted model, and then partially submersing it in a dio base has got to take some courage!!! The concept is pretty special here--I like it sir.

Steve

I like it. "7.3 by 7.3cm" that's about 3 inch by 3 inch, isn't it? That is pretty small.

Nice concept and excecution. You don't have any pics of it from a lower angle, do you?

FAUST is my hero

Wow! Faust what a great use of a little space. This is a little Dio without the use of fiqures because it tells a story. The key I believe are the boots, they kind of represent the struggle the riders had before they gave up to Rasputitsa. Great Job!!

Rob yet again your humor is abundant!!! I can can see to guys staring in disgustoff to the side!!! good job STUG

ola rob

in one word simply brilliant :-) wat a tick thats 2 words.

heh

great job

Great job Robert very Interesting!!!
Great subject
bravo (++) (++) (++) (++)

An (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) piggie award!
seriously consider submitting pictures to the magasines,it is just as you described it.
Nice.

Ola everybody

I would like to thank you all for the comments.
at the moment I write this it`s only 10 hours for the dio tp compete in the contest at the KMK scaleworld. I will keep you posted on what. happened with it

Again thanks for the encouraging words

That's simply amazing Robert, an absolutely outstanding idea. I just love the boots "trapped" in the mud.
Bravo!!!

Nice one faust. Great and imaginative idea. Dont know how accurate it would be that two soldiers would leave their boots behind them, but thats not the point here. An amused Russian looking at the scene could have added to the story but overall I really like the idea and this should stand nicely as a self-contained story. Best of luck in the upcoming KMK scaleworld competition! Not every dio has to be huge to get the story across, and this proves it!!

Now this is thinking outside the box. Fantastic concept for a dio. Three cheers Surperbly done!!!
