Perry Miniatures Show Their Sculpting Progress for Anzac Diorama
February 11, 2015 by dracs
Perry Miniatures have been hard at work these past few months sculpting the models that will be used in the upcoming Anzac Diorama being organised by Peter Jackson and have taken the time to show off some of the sculpts winging their way to New Zealand.
I think you will agree that Perry have done a fantastic job with these miniatures. These really do look like individuals, rather than a bunch of constantly replicated miniatures, helped by the inclusion of one-offs to help break up the placement of models when they are positioned on the table.
More than this though, now we see these models we can get an idea of just how fierce and brutal the fighting was in this conflict. There are little vignettes sculpted here of actions that many of us these days would consider unthinkable, and don't even think of in the context of war. I think this is rather fitting, as not only does it fit with the diorama's remembrance purpose, but it will make the diorama more like the real battle rather than a simple line up of models.

Gota love a sock grenade!
A sticky bomb? a nice group will be good when its finished.
Those look amazing! If only they were in 28mm.
Beautiful and terrible at the same time. There’s a number of paintings by Jason Askew illustrating just how brutal the fighting was, some of these poses look as if they are based upon the scene portrayed in the painting called Courtneys Trench (iirc).
Fantastic yet slightly chilling sculpts. Job well done by all involved and a fitting portrayal of the combatants, they’re all just human beings when you look at the faces, none are shown as snarling monsters of jingoism or propaganda.
Scary in more ways than one.
what a great work, it will look stunning.
