Another one bites the dust - Maschinen Krieger Friedrich - 1/20

[DocRob]

The Kampfanzug´s pilot has bitten the dust and the medical Neuspotter drone can´t help it. My Sanbox GB entry is buried under the sand now.
I wanted to do something different and when I found the MaK Friedrich battle suit in my stash, I formed a picture of a pilot tormented by a sandstorm and died for thirst, after all his PE bottles were empty. The Neuspotter drone was added later to the scenario with it´s sinister looks and I wanted a bit of black humor seeping out of my little dio. The AI driven drone was probably smart enough to wait for the storm to cease, where the high tech equipped pilot died, because there was not enough water left for him. 

Some final pics, this time in my photo box with better lighting.

Cheers Rob

Thank you Hubert and Martin. Initially I was very unhappy with the sandbox theme, but when I got the idea for my dio, I was a bit happier. Now that it´s done, I kind of like the result, because it represents my thoughts from the concept phase and the implementation worked.

It´s a completely different experience, Kevin. I shy away often from making dios, but when I do, it´s a lot of fun.

Muchas gracias, Mike and Chris. I don´t feel very comfortable with dioramas, but when I start with them, I usually have some fun. I like telling a short story, like a snapshot would do and when I found the battle suit in my stash, I initially searched the net for some scale skulls and luckily found some. It was the same with the PE-bottles, but I never would have believed, that such a thing existed, squeezed plastic bottles and not in 1/35. It´s a strange hobby we have .

Cheers Rob
