    Hi folks,

    This is my first diorama after a 20 year break of modelling. It´s smaller scale than the latest (1:72) and by far not that accurate than the one I´ve shown before. I just started modelling again with this diorama and tried out a lot of things learning by doing. The scene was inspired by general interest in the Normandy landings and several research fotos and footage.

    Nice. I don't know how modelers do it, but this is a good job.

    I've seen a lot of models depicting battles but this is by far one of my favorites! Very very nicely done.

    That must have taken hours and days to do not including the planning before starting
