Modeling, specifically military modeling is generally content on building all of the various machines and weapons of war. We take great care in our quest to build accurate, small scale representations of the tools of the trade and in some cases we combine these with figures to create small scenes. These vignettes and dioramas often portray a certain historical event – a roadside meeting or front line engagement. However, if we are honest with ourselves we must come to the realization that even our most accurate depictions of the tools of war only tell a limited part of a greater story that is warfare. Rarely do we touch upon scenes which depict the horror, tragedy and loss that war causes on the human level.
