Brilliant Robert , outstanding creation of a freeze frame snapshot in time , that it's done in 1/72nd scale makes it even cooler .
I admire those that can work in that scale and achieve that much realism and action , ........... hell , I need my glasses just to find my glasses .

Just top rate. Love the sense of motion that you have captured and the news paper is just great.

I first thought it was a 1/35 diorama... AMAZING for a 1/72 scale!
I really like the dynamism of the whole scene and the details of the crashed wooden gate and the newspaper pages flying in the back of the wagon

Robert,
Just saw this and you've got my admiration, yet again!
Also enjoy studying your work; your approach, theories, execution. I also thought 35th for a moment!

Thanks for posting it, and will look for more!

Cheers
Dave

I love this diorama. The Spartacist uprising isn't often the subject of models and dioramas, great choice.

Skillfully-done, in an amazingly small scale for all the detail, and a subject matter I have never seen in a model build.

That is awesome! I love the newspapers swirling behind it. With the boards flying out in front the viewer gets a great sense of motion.

Well done!
