The moment when a soldier with a sapper shovel looks into the eyes of children was very touching!

I have to confess that this old fool shed a tear as the piece came together. When you started with the tree in full health I did think it would be out of place in a diorama of this nature, as trees in the landscape looked more like distorted fingers rising from the ground. I can't thank you enough for sharing your art with us, and your ability to weave such a poignant story is incredible. Thank you.

this guy is a real genius, it's a tremendous pleasure to watch him at work

A very thought provoking composition and striking interpretation of 'then and now', amazing work Thomas.

As a Combat Infantryman from Desert Shield/Storm this really touched me. Once I realized what the looking glass was for it saddened me tremendously. This is the most poignant diorama I have ever seen. Man's inhumanity to his fellow man is one of the greatest tragedies, if not THE greatest ever. If you have been in combat, you understand firsthand. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT THOMAS! Hopefully, I'll be starting making these soon and you are a big influence on that.

An extremely powerful and thought provoking portrait. Thank you for making this and sharing the build and result with us.

War and peace. Amazing work Thomas.

Fantastic work, blows me away each time!

Absolute pleasure watching you at work, pure genius

Lovely work one small historical note. German barbed wire was supported by large wooden X shapes early in the war and by the time the tanks were deployed the Germans had moved to using iron rods with an eyelet at the top to loop the wire around. the introduction of the latter being one of the reasons British artillery couldn't clear barbed wire at the Somme. Of course I'm sure there were places on the Western Front where they had to improvise.

Hi Thomas! The diorama is magnificent! Touches your soul! I sometimes remember your old work about Berlin. Half of the house was in war, and the other was in peacetime, and there was a little girl with flowers. and the German officer who picked up the flower. I still remember this diorama. I really touched my soul! Thank you very much for such work!

A window in time excellent build

The maestro strikes again! Beautiful work! 👍 The German soldier looking directly towards the 3 boys is a really nice detail.

Better than thousand words. Not only it`s superbly done, it`s got increadible emotional dimension. Fantastic work, brilliant.

I absolutely love your channel. I did terrain and dioramas for years but had to stop due to issues with my eyes. Every time I watch you work I learn something new and I love learning new things. Once I get my magnifying glass set up I'm going to get back into it and I plan on trying to re-create some of your stuff. You've single handedly inspired a man who had given up. Thank you.

So powerful! Another amazing piece, Thomas. There is a lot of talented people producing beautiful dioramas, but you sir, you are on a league of your own. Extraordinaire! 👍🏻

The binding wire trees are such a cool process to watch.

Dies ist eine weitere schöne Geschichte, die Sie uns durch Ihre großartige Arbeit erzählen. Gut gemacht

Sehr coole Idee, und klasse Arbeit.Die Details sprechen für sich❤❤ . Freu mich immer wenn neue Videos kommen. Bin gespannt was als nächstes im WW2 Diorama kommt und was für Fahrzeuge und Figuren zum Einsatz kommen. Richtig klasse👍🏻😀

Absolutely outstanding, I love the “time portal” concept. I know you’ve done the same in previous dioramas but it’s always original with each one. First class stuff again Thomas 🤩

always a pleasure to watch such an inspirational master of his craft at work, stunning

You always give us such beautiful stories. This one was beautiful and eerie at the same time. It makes you feel bad for the children and that soldier. Thank you Thomas, for another beautiful diorama.

Grüß dich 😂 Sagenhaft, das ist nahezu unglaublich was du uns da wieder präsentierst. Schließe mich gerne dem einen oder anderen Kommentar an das die Szene am Portal wirklich Wahnsinn ist. Regt zum Nachdenken an. Vielen Dank für das Video. Mfg Bomber 🤘😜

Wonderful message. Da kann man nur liken 👍. Keep up the great art you’re doing!

Another quality piece of modelling Thomas👌 Nice concept with the boys looking on… fabulous products from diorama Presepe too🙂👍

Beautiful work- the contrast between the time periods is amazing! Well done!

ich habe ein bischen gebraucht den sin zu verstehen . die Idee die Ausführung und das Ergebniss sind der Hammer .SUPER LEISTUNG

I've been following you since the beginning Thomas, and it's interesting to see the evolution of your projects... Your technical sense, this singular approach to your diluted paint, your science of the artistic diorama and the magic of Fabio's products... All of this makes each of your projects a genuine pleasure to look at. Always inspiring, always credible... Your channel is now a must-see for all of us...

I wasn't expecting that. Brilliant. And moving.

The moment I clocked the soldier with the shovel wasn’t even glancing at the bloke he was trying to off, right after you finished printing it, I knew something was fishy and that I’d be in for a right treat. And I was, for a moment. But then that surprise turned into sadness. Thomas, you’re not just a top-notch craftsman, but also an absolute genius of a storyteller. Thanks for this. Cheers from Patagonia!

As usual, an amazing piece of art. A touching story, expertly told.

Awesome job Thomas, always learn something from you

Simply incredible, my friend! You’re a credit to the hobby ☕️

Beautiful! More than just a battlefield diorama!

Love your work thank you for sharing with everyone ❤

Ein sehr schönes Diorama. Habe eine richtige Gänsehaut bekommen. Der Blick vom Soldaten zu den Kindern. Und ja 😢 eine kleine Träne habe ich auch gelassen. Sehr beeindruckend. Sehr beeindruckend. Hut ab.

21:08 was für eine Liebe zum Detail. 🥰🥰🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻 Wunderbare Arbeit 👍🏻👍🏻❤️

schitterende diorama ,een prachtige idee om het heden te plaatsen bij het verleden prachtig!

You are one of a kind, fantastic storyteller Thomas 👏👏👏👏

wieder ein wunderschönes Modell, man merkt einfach das sich da jemend Gedanken macht

uhh..what a message ...speechless ❤

Das ist wirklich, wirklich KUNST.! ❤👍

Wow! Sehr berührend! Und wie immer mit Wahnsinns Talent umgesetzt!

Ich verabscheue Krieg, genau wegen solcher Szenen. Das Diorama jedoch ist wirklich wunderschön geworden. Gratulation aus 🇦🇹. 👍👍👍

Another fantastic diorama. Love the looking glass again, those are some of the best I have ever seen.

WOW. awesome build. beautiful moment captured...stunning

Man. As always, superb modelling. But the concept... That's intense and phenomenal and really chilling. It's art!

Wie immer eine wahnsinnig tolle Arbeit. Immer wieder schön dur zuzusehen.

Quite a thought-provoking work.

I love the message this portrays. Excellent and emotional piece, Thomas.

Encore un beau diorama, quel sens du détail, les regards des soldats sont saisissant. Il faut avoir beaucoup de patience pour réaliser un tel chef d'œuvre. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, encore un bon moment de passé à la visionner.

Brilliant concept on the tragedy of war. Children are so innocent, they don't know war. Awesome work.

Thomas, you tell the saddest but most beautiful stories! This one seriously makes me want to cry. Your talent is amazing! Thank you for another incredible diorama.

Makes my day when you release a new video..excellent as usual!👏👏

WOW, That is some AWESOME work. Now I'm going to have to binge watch more of your content 👍😀

Tolle Arbeit. Danke fürs zeigen

Cool pt 2! WOW! Love the juxtaposition. When I was bored at work sometimes I used to make "trees" out of 25pr Telecom wire, I never got so detailed with clay etc. I just wrapped the trunk w more wire. I especially like the concertina wire detail. Awesome piece!

This turned out so beautiful 💗💗

Hauntingly beautiful.

Clever and genius idea for this diorama concept. Nicely done!

Such thought provoking work you have a real talent for telling stories with your work❤.

pure perfectionism, very very well done ...as always 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Another amazing video, Thomas! Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

Absolutely incredible work,I love it

I admire his almost infinite patience and passion for the art and artist!

Comme toujours un travail d'orfèvre et d'artiste. J'adore quand il y a le pendant et le après sur le dio. C'est une brillante idée. La tragédie d'une scène d'un côté et l'innocence de l'enfance de l'autre. Merci encore pour cette superbe vidéo. ~~ Wie immer die Arbeit eines Goldschmieds und Künstlers. Ich liebe es, wenn es während und nach der Aufführung etwas gibt. Es ist eine brillante Idee. Die Tragödie einer Szene auf der einen Seite und die Unschuld der Kindheit auf der anderen. Nochmals vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video.

Hallo Thomas, ein geniales Diorama ist dir wieder gelungen. Herzlichen Dank .VG Holger

Your portal dioramas would be a great premise for a Black Mirror style anthology sci-fi series.
