Dioramica in Heilbad Heiligenstadt 28. - 29.9.2024

My third visit to the Dioramica (www.dioramica.de) and the usual long journey from my hometown to the  location in Heilbad Heiligenstadt in Germany (over 800 km). The event is a presentation of the local museum "Geschichte in Miniaturen" (www.geschichte-in-miniaturen.de) with it's perfect dioramas combined with a meeting place for 1/72 figure enthusiasts (as well as a small second hand fair for figures and dioramas in this scale). People who knew each other mostly from forums or see each other very seldom met here and talked about their hobby, showed their latest work or tried to get some inspiration.

As its predecessors it was a great event with the cream of the cream of 1/72 diorama builders (unfortunately not all could come) of middle Europe. Again I took some of my dioramas along and presented it to the public for the very first time. Some visitors already knew me from this blog or my YouTube-channel and long talkings and questions/answers followed - others only enjoyed watching. 

There was also a competition in which I took part with two of my dioramas - as usual: no risk, no fun.

And I started some new friendships with some of the other builders / exhibitors and met some friends which I haven't seen for a long time - all crazy people like me (and we are proud of this fact!!!)

The long trip was a complete success, even more as I finally was able to sell some of my dioramas and therefore have now space for the next projects.

Last but not least: A great compliment to the organisation and to all who took part in making this happen.
