Beirut 1982
a street scene

At the moment: stage 1 - developing of ideas, collecting models and suitable figures, looking for plans and photographs; inspiration from films like "Spy Game" or novels like "Die Fälschung".
Studying literature e.g. Samer Kassis, 1982. Invasion of Lebanon. [Abteilung 502] 2019. 299 pages, 503 photographs. Analyzing succeeded dioramas.

Stage 2 - building the models (the T 34, maybe a destroyed civilian car) and figures: warriors, civilians, photographers

Stage 3 - building the urban diorama - the street, the buildings, the ruins, the debris, the roadblocks, the checkpoint ...

Last but not least - permanent comparison: how much can my diorama take?

Perhaps there will be Tom Bishop and Nathan Muir 😉
