Dan Siskind's WWII Dioramas

[Brickadier General]

As some of you may or may not be aware, Daniel Siskind, creator of the Blacksmith Shop set and proprietor of Brickmania custom kits has been working on a book for No Starch Press on the topic of Modern military (over the past century) Lego modeling. I'm expecting to see this WWII Iwo Jima Diorama in there.

And this scene with WWII Japanese soldiers.

See his Flickr gallery for more.

I'm surprised nobody posted about this yet.

Bonzai! Really good work there. I like how all of the American troops have their own pose. The only problem is that there are so few asian faces in the Japanese army. Shame on Lego for ignoring the asians.

Wow, that is a seriously impressive diorama. The brick background is a neat touch you don't see often.

Thanks for posting it, General.

This actually belongs in other themes, though. I'll move it there.

Wow! This looks great! Those tanks and soldiers look amazing!

[WesternOutlaw]

Wow! These are excellent. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to check out his other WWII creations.

Thanks for sharing! This is so amazing. It feels like I am looking back into history. I am sure it will be interesting to learn history via LEGO. Anyway, I enjoyed viewing such historical mocs.

Just beautiful work from Dan I love the look of the muddy shore as the troops fight tooth and nail for the advantage. No mean feat to get that many troops either

Outstanding.

Amazingly done, kudos to its creator. Thanks for sharing!

Happy to share them with you and glad to hear you like his work.

Sorry about that Sir Dillon. I assumed since WWII is historical it would belong in History and Adventure. Is History and Adventure reserved for MOCs that are related to themes that Lego has already developed?

It's not the kind of subject I really like to look at, but it's really awesome work. Look at that black smoke plume, it's impressive.
