                        Hi all,
                        This is my first post here, and I would like to show a diorama made by my father, that celebrates the 60th anniversary of the D-Day.

                        You can find the images at the following link:
                        www.marcotraverso.it/d-day

                        Thank you for any comment!

                        Marco

                        Your father's diorama is spectacular, he's done a beautiful job on it. The photography is excellent too.

                        Is it in 1/72 scale? I think I recognise some of the german figures, Revell and Airfix or Hasagawa?

                        That is amazing. I am beginning my first diorama and was reading this forum to get some ideas and guidance and Whoa!! I am so impressed with this piece.A couple questions though. WHat scale is it? How long did it take to complete? Looks like a great subject for a future issue of FSM.
