                        I like it, Warren! There's something to be said about 1/72nd diorama's, and friend, you're speaking the right language! Smile [:)]

                        Thanks,
                        Frank

                        NIce job. The hedgerows add to the sense of suspense.

                        Nice job on the ground work. All that is missing is a German waiting to destroy it with a panzerfaust.

                        Nice job.

                        Thanks Dwight Smile [:)]

                        To be honest I've been building in this scale for so long I can't imagine working in anything but 1/72 or 1/76 Wink [;)]

                        Great job, Warren. I know that working on small kits like that is really a tough act but you were able to come up with a good work there.

                        D-Day Diorama
                        Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, August 3, 2004 10:17 PM
                        This project is my submission for the D-Day group build, but I thought that I'd post it here too for anyone who might be interested. It's my diorama showing the movement of one gun from the 13th Field Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division rolling inland from Juno beach on June 6th.

                        The Priest is a 1/76 scale Fujimi kit and the crew ismade up from a mixture of 1/72 and 1/76 scale figures from Airfix, Hasagawa, Fujimi and Esci. I built the base on top of a ceramic tile, building up the ground using air-dry modeling clay. The stone wall is also made from air-dry modeling clay. The dirt for the road (and the mud on the vehicle) is regular dirt stolen from my wife's potted plants, and the 'grass' is made from layers of a couple of different shades of Woodland Scenics ground covering. I used Woodlaned Scenics for the hedges as well, using two shades of foilage glued to dried grape stems to build them.

                        I hope you like the final product, comments and questions are welcome. Smile [:)]
