David V. Goliath?

Interesting concept of a series of similar dioramas. If I may suggest, there was a an old photo in Life magazine from the 1956 Hungarian uprising that would be of a similar nature. It showed Soviet T-34/85's being pelted with rocks by Hungarians. Your work is very impressive and I look forward to seeing the Tiananmen Square diorama.

 

 

Thank you, Guys.  I'll try to upload a few more pics.  The title is a 'near' accident.  I've been working/thinking on/about a series of dioramas in the same 'vein', including the famous picture showing the single Chinese student stopping the Type 69 tanks on Tiananmen Square.  The idea behind the series being to create dioramas where the focus of the 'scene' was not on the obvious, larger item.   I feel many dioramas do not tell a story, merely embelishing a model, be it an aircraft or an AFV, or else.  Anyway, as it happened, I got the 'materials' to build this one first and of course the title here is more fitting than for Tiananmen.  I think the "?" I added after the title got a few people irritated or thinking I was supporting one side more than another...  That was certainly not the effect I was after.

Almost everything we see, do in this hobby could at some point be taken the 'wrong way'.  For instance, in my research, I've found evidence of people seriously thinking that the Tiananmen events were staged, or not as big as we tend to think they were.  And therefore, for this future diorama, I may offend some people too.  However, when I build a German tank used by the Nazis to kill what I call 'allies' and/or civilians, there is also a fair chance that it will be seen by someone who may think I am glorifying the Nazi war machine...

Good stuff, real good. I think its a good subject to choose and its been done tastefully. The name is well suited and the diorama is fairly neutral. It doesnt favour one side so people of each opinion can look and enjoy.

That's really a beautiful piece of work!

It's really nice to see someone tackle this subject from this perspective; I think maybe some people would shy away from the whole idea out of a fear of "political correctness"? But you've sone it admirably.

Lots of great details and thought in the whole scene! WELL DONE! 

I thought David was an Israelite? haha, just kidding man, GREAT JOB.  However it'd be nice to see some more pics

 

Nicely done Domi.  Thanks for sharing.
