John, yet again you've ruined it for everyone else thinking of doing a box dio! 
Spot on again, I especially appreciate the changing light within the scene - an excellent touch. The planning & preparation gone into this have paid massive dividends.
Again though, top planning backed up by excellent execution. All the painting,weathering etc. You can almost smell the damp peeling the wallpaper off.
World class.

A well deserved Gold but I'm sorry - this is FAR too good and too original to win "Best of Show".
Try doing a generic Napoleonic scene next time, featuring shouting Frenchmen waving flags about.
Superb work and as BP says - World Class.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the lovely comments I am blown away by them.
Zeno this won a gold in the Box Diorama Class and was in the running for Best of Show, alas not to be this year.
I will have to try harder next year.

I agree 100%.
The more I look at the BoS winner, the more contrived and ho-hum I think it is (although I nevertheless respect and admire the winning duo's undoubted serious talent as a sculpting/painting team).
You can bet that if every Euro attendee got to vote on BoS, the general modelling public would be at odds with the judges' choice every time.
I'd love to see a vote for "public's choice" (or whatever they call it) introduced at Euro, like I understand they have at some shows.

I've said this for years - it'd be fascinating to see. If any show has ever done this, or is thinking about it, I'd love to know.
Thanks Brian

John was kind enough to stop off at our stand on his way to the comp room at Euro and let us have a good look at it. The composition is fantastic and the forced perspective created by the german being a smaller scale the the GI works very well. The attention to detail such as the peeling paint and wall paper and the discarded toys just add to the atmosphere. Fantastic piece of work and much more evocative than the BoS.
