Not sure what to make of this...yes its great modelling, is is a suitable subject?...It is thought provoking though


If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Well, I like it. It´s an excellent way to not forget what happened then. The only "but", if that it could be considered a "military" model.

Superbly done - and sensitively done, I think.

I wouldnt call it "nice" but its very competently done.

As to suitability, I would say that it depends on context.
Best regards,

very thought provoking - would not be out of place at the Imperial War museum's exhibition on the final solution

I should add the diorama is by  Rick Lawler and Markus Lack

While its a sensitive subject I think this is very thought provoking and tastefully done.

If you've ever been to Auschwitz you'll know that even today, seventy years on, it's a silent, grim place with a heavy atmosphere, even in bright sunlight. Not sure I approve of anything connected with the concentration camps becoming the subject of a model. It smacks of disrespect.

Incidentally, the famous gateway with the railway line running through it isn't actually at Auschwitz, it's at Birkenau a kilometre or so up the road.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I don't see how this could be disrespectful.

Of course its a suitable subject.  Why wouldn't it be.

Very fine model, whatever your point of view.
I agree with a lot of the points above.
