1/48 Civilian – Father & Son

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 Civilian – Father & Son set by Dynamo Models captures a timeless and emotional scene of civilian life during World War II.
As war swept across Europe, families faced displacement, uncertainty, and survival amid conflict. This set depicts a father and his young son journeying together — a moment of quiet courage amid the devastation of war.
It brings human emotion and narrative realism to any WWII diorama, emphasizing endurance, family, and the will to survive in wartime Europe.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/48 scale resin set includes two figures: an adult male and a small boy, both dressed in typical 1940s civilian attire.
The father is shown walking or guiding his son, while the child’s posture reflects innocence and dependence.
The sculpt captures natural movement and body language, enhanced by crisp detailing in clothing folds, facial expressions, and hand placement.
Despite the small scale, both figures convey strong character and emotion, offering painters a rewarding opportunity to tell a story through subtle tones and highlights.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for WWII European refugee, occupied France, or liberation dioramas, this pair fits seamlessly into urban streets, country roads, or village ruins.
They combine beautifully with other civilian sets such as The Father (48013) or The Old Woman Walking with Stick (48008), or with Allied military figures to represent scenes of liberation or evacuation.
Their presence adds emotional depth and realism to both large-scale and compact 1/48 dioramas.
