Tribute to Liberation

by Rodrigo Sartori from Brazil

    Rodrigo Satori, from Brazil, sent us this amazing WWII diorama portraying the liberation of Auschwitz. The detail is incredible and serves to set a very emotional scene.

    "My interest in modeling these dioramas is due to the fact that I'm passionate about the history of the Second World War, especially staging the battle scenes. I model a lot of trucks and my initial idea for this diorama was to stage a summer when the guards were on watch with dogs and a supply truck was coming on the field.

    This project stood for about four years, and in 2012 I decided to continue its assembly. Because of the controversial nature of this topic, I decided to change the original idea and model the day of the Auschwitz liberation by the Soviet Army on January 27, 1945. Since it snowed a lot this time of year, I used Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow. In all the places I present this diorama, everyone asks me how I modeled the snow so realistically. I simply point to your product.

    Thank you.
