Memorial in The Valley of Death (Slovakia)

...brief description:
Amongst the villages Kapišová, Kružľová and Nižná Písaná we can find scattered artillery symbolized by 8 tanks T34/85 in the terrain representing a tank company on strike. All the scenery is here to remind the public of the fights taking place on the site from 25th to 27th October 1944, more here:

...brief description:
I will add another piece to the series of monuments and since we celebrated the end of World War II on 8-9.5, I am adding a monument for this period. The ZIS-2 model was released in Fifík, I made the pad according to the real monument in Skároš, which looks like this:



...As for the model itself, I thought it was a simple model, but the tubular parts were not quite simple, at least for me ... I tried to improve the model at least a little... I added a little patina ... maybe it looks a little better ... I tried to make the pad according to a real memorial. , a few photos:

These are great looking Zax. I missed your earlier posts. The details you've added really make it impressive.

Thank you, there will be other memorials, and not just for World War II

Hachiko (Japan)
(Bronze statue at Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo)



Another piece in a series of monuments. Not only important people and events have memorials, but a few animals have their own statue. I like dogs, they keep me company all my life (now I'm sixth), so when I found this 3D model, I had to include it in my collection. It is therefore a combination of 3D printing (sculpture and inscription) and a paper model (pedestal).
As for the model, it probably doesn't need to be explained, it is a dog who, after the death of his master for 9 years, went every day waiting for the station for his master ... 2 films were made about him. The statue was erected at the station, where he waited every night. More here:

Really nice your memorials, Zak!

I found particularly touching, for absolutely different reasons, the Berlin Wall and Hachikō statue.
To those who likes dogs I suggest to read the Jirō Taniguchi's comic story "Inu o Kau" (Raise a dog).

Zak, is the template of Berlin Wall somehow available?
