Hi boys! New topic, new diorama! It’s in Italy 1943, after the landings at the mainland.
It’s German vs Americans, some Germans do everything to get the Iron Cross.
Building, wall, groundwork is scratched, figures are from Zvezda, Caesar and Speira.
First some pictures from the start:
The palm tree is made by a shoestring, the leaves are laser cut in paper, got them from a friend.
I did not take pictures during the build of it, show you next time.
This is the status right now. More groundwork has to be done, details on wall and building and figure painting.
I will keep you posted. The goal is to have it ready for the C4-open show last weekend in October.
Cheers!
Yet another lovely little set piece. The one thing (apart from many other aspects of the builds) is the speed at which you do these, but also the maintained super high standards of craftsmanship that goes into each one…
Well done so far
Yeah I’m not sure hunt is the right word in this context, as hunt would usually mean looking for it with intent.
Also as the Iron Cross was really an award for bravery/leadership they wouldn’t normally be sought, these type of things happen on the spur of the moment in most cases…
Maybe something like “Battle won, the Iron Cross” ? Will give it some more thought
Which is what Stransky does in the movie. Its a matter of prestige. I’m not sure how much that was done in real life, but some people will do anything to get a medal/decoration like that. In any case, the title reminded me of the movie, so I really want to see how it all works out.

Thanks!
Actually I could go for another title, “Chasing Kilroy”.
As you see the chalk that the American used to draw Kilroy on the wall is on the ground. Americans left without finishing the classic wall art.
