1/48 The Farmer

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 The Farmer figure represents a rural European civilian during the late 1930s and early 1940s, a period when farming communities played a crucial role in sustaining both civilian populations and military forces. Throughout the early stages of World War II, farmers were often caught between advancing armies, requisition demands, and daily survival. The 1/48 The Farmer captures the quiet resilience of these rural inhabitants, offering diorama builders an authentic representation of life away from the front lines but deeply affected by the war’s presence. This figure adds depth to any scene depicting occupied territories, retreating forces, or peaceful countryside moments.
