Inspiration is much more better than provocation-and often more helpful too! :-D

Go ahead. Inspire us.

I haven´t thrown my hat in the ring first...or?

I did not throw any hat since I don't possess one.

But you have to throw a gauntlet right into peoples' faces sometimes to wake them up. That can be very inspiring, indeed.

Yes i agree-sometimes people have to be woke up!
But directly a whole gauntlet? That could sometimes be misunderstood-and sometimes could also be thrown back

Changing one's post after getting an answer in order to get the upper hand is not exactly fair play.

But to be more precise, when talking about WWII I mean the historical subject matter as such, first of all, and this, I find highly interesting. Alas, when seeing it depicted in the usual way - a tank of sorts in front of a house ruin of sorts in 90 percent of all WWII dioramas - I find this neither interesting nor inspiring though. That's what I mean, and obviously there are others who agree with me.

I have seen a lot of breathtaking dios showing scenes from WWII in different scales, easy to find samples on the net and take inspiration from them. As to my own work, I have never done WWII so far. Keep coming back to this place, maybe you will be surprised one day.

I edited my writing obviously while you are already writing your reply-so no kind of "getting the upper hand" or failing "fair play" -as i am not in a duel with you-just a conversation.
I appreciate your words,as i found them very open and honest !

Also i think we both like the "unusual" diorama-even if sometimes there must be place for all the other stuff covering every period-even if that means.....bricks,ruined buildings and tanks
So let s join hands-i understand and accept what you meant - and i think i showed you my opinion

Funny coincidence, there was last week-end at the same time an exhibition/exposition at Saumur in the tankmuseum!! Instead of 1/6 tank, we've seen real ones moving (B1bis, FCM36, PzII, T34/85, Sherman, AMX Rolland...)!!
