It´s called "Dangers of speed", if I have translated it right. The house is made of plaster. I used Italeri jeep ja Tamiya kübelwagen. Motorcycle is also from Italeri. I have used figures from Italeri, Tamiya and Dragon. Also I have used MK35 Editions figures. Comments are welcome.
I hope you can see pictures and sorry about my bad English.

That looks to be an excellent diorama. Too bad the pictures are a bit off focus and are bothered by bad light.
Is it possible to make some pictures with the use of bright daylight ? I think this will improve the display of your diorama big time. The diorama itself looks very good...composition, depth, color, figures, vehicle, house...it's all there and in complete harmony !!!
Good Job Sami !

Very well made diorama, and the model fit's well with the safet message. I like this one a lot, only one thing though - I can't see any damage to the front of the vehicle in the pics, and I'd have thought that the stone wall would have been a solid thing to hit.

Ahhh, yes,
that are much better pictures !! Thanks.
The background creates an awesome atmophere...wonderful.
The only thing I would try to adjust/improve are the eyes of the medic.... he looks like he's having a bad case of shell shock. Making the white smaller by adding a touch of flesh tone around the white of the eyes should do the trick.
For the rest : Wonderful work !

Wonderful work! What did you use to make the flowers? Very cool...great sense of story telling, there's nothing to explain at all, it tells itself. Yes, I would have damaged up the front of the vehicle as Dave has said, but otherwise, a winner in my book!

Hi!
I think its a great dio as well. Love the black cat, and the abandoned Jeep next to the house.
How did you make the flowers? Could use some.

Kubelwagen really is bit too slightly damaged. Flowers were made of real dried flowers :-) . They came from flower arrangement.

Great job. Those outdoor pics really make the whole scene photograph better. The one things that bothers me are the eyes of the medic. Too much white.

Very nice, a few things I do not see though, where did the kubalwagon come from before it crashed? did it go through the building? If so, the building or kubelwagon would be completely destroyed, if it didnt, why are the figures in the building?
and why is a willy's jeep there?
just something I need cleared up.
Other than that, all the terrain etc, looks great and I like the plot of the diorama, how did you do the dirt road? I like it very much!
happy building

Your english is fine. The second set of photos are really nice. They really show off your diorama.
I like it, it's unique and has a lot of different elements to it.
I agree with the eyes of the medic. Practice, that's all, you'll get there.
I personally would like to see a window opening in the bottom floor of the building. That's just style though.
Watch your seam lines, even on the small gear like rifles.
I like the shell damage to the wall in the corner of the door. It is very nice and painted well. I would like to see more damage on the door from that shell.
I love the photos with the natural background. It really shows off the diorama well.
The color in the flowers is very effective and gains interest well. As does the white fence. Nice touch.
Lots of details everywhere, like the open box next to the kuble. This really shows you have potential.
Well Done.

That's a very beautiful diorama. I like the composition and the story it tells because it is very clear even if there's no name tag. Second, I love the details, especially the flowers, the rubble and the little cat.
A few things that caught my attention though:
1) The Kubel is too "undamaged." You could add a nasty dent or broken glass.
2) There is a lack of skid marks, where the Kubel has veered off from the road. Putting skidmarks would really show that it is recklessly fast.
3) Personally, I find the left side of the dio (behind the one with the bicycle) rather bare. But I think putting a small vehicle there (i.e. another Kubel, an Opel Blitz, a motorcycle, etc) would solve the problem. That could be the vehicle the medic is riding on so you could fill that with medical items...
4) The lower left corner is also rather bare. It would be good if you can put something on it (a garden, a tree, a few rocks, etc.)
But overall the dio is great. Congrats.

That is a great dio, well done. I just wondered, the portrait in the house seems to be of Stalin. This does make the Jeep an odd addition. Other than that it great.
What drugs is the medic on, and can I have some....

I did trees by using Noch "Natural trees kit". I dipped those trees to white clue (if that is right word) and sprinkled parsley on them. Then a bit hairspray if necessary.
