I like using a war relic as a base when i am making a miniature diorama. I have built dioramas on large grenade fragments, shell casings, rifle casings, boxes, coils of barbed wire, plus lots of other bits, and I am always trying to fit the scene and its landscape to the story of the relic.

One day I saw photos taken of some of the camps during the liberation, and knew that I had to make a 1/35 scale miniature of a specific camp at some point. I didn`t have the space or economy to undertake such a project at the time, so instead I decided to construct a watchtower and section of the fence.

When my passion for metal detecting and relics merges with my other passion, miniature modelling, the result can be things like these helmet dioramas. I think it is very fun to create small scenes from the particular battlefield the helmet was found, trying to catch a glimpse of the past.
