Rick Keasey
Edwardsville, Illinois
Rick’s diorama, called “Your Destiny Awaits - Normandy, 1944” shows a Panzer IV rolling through a French neighborhood along with German infantry. The tank commander speaks with a wounded soldier who points toward the front, while other injured Germans lean wearily against the buildings or slump on the ground. Rick cut up a Custom Dioramics kit for the facade, built the Panzer from a Dragon kit, and the figures came from various manufacturers. He scratchbuilt the cobblestone road and added 3D-printed shingles and products in the store windows.
