A cozy gathering of a Russian, British, German and American soldier around a campfire drinking mulled wine at Christmas eve during WW2

Hello folks,

today I want to present you my little Chritmas diorama. I got a lot of positive feedback about my last one from the WWI Christmas truce so I decided that this year I want to do something similar but in another historical period.

As I was shopping for STL I would never print as any respectable hobbyist owning a 3D printer would do I came across a little christmas diorama scene and decided to make it my festive hobby project.

The files are from the 3dbreed website:

They are desgined to fit both 15mm and 28mm and come in the two different sizes.

I tried some new things on the diorama e.g. tested some new matierals for the snow and added some smoke that I glued in place and then cut to fit with a scissor feeling like a hair dresser. I also tried my best on a little OSL at the ground and the stones surrounding the campfire.

I’m very satisfied with the outcome and during the process having some cookies and mulled wine and listening to all the christmas classic (I look at you Wham!) I got very festive. So by sharing it with all of you I hope you get in the right mood for the most wonderful time of the year.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, lots of food and presents, health and a good time with your loved ones! May all your wishes come true!

Thanks for reading and until next time…or shall I say year?

Cheers
