How to build a Large Normandy Dio in 1/72 scale. Finnished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MMC thanks very much and im glad u like it your praise is too much.

Manny that is a valid point but this can be viewed at any angle

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A stunning piece of work Bodge, and to think it is in 1/72 is the icing on the cake, amazing. Love the bridge idea and the figures are mind blowing.

Thanks very much Karl, much of my modeling skills i put down to the forum and i love the community spirit, everyone is helpfull and friendly which is more than i can say for some clubs i have been part of in the past. Cheers again and im watchin your armour panzer post with envy.

Cheers to all the other talented guys that have taken the time to post,it spurs me on. Andy.

OHHHHH MAAAN!!!

WOW, Andy--when you see the whole thing like that, I swear, it looks like a low-level reconaissance photo!

THAT LOOKS FRICKIN' TERRIFIC!!!

I have to say that this is one of my favorite posts that I've seen here! I can't give you enough praise! I LOVE IT!!

I remember the Kettenkraftrad from one of the early WIP shots you gave

I love the diorama.. Really beautiful scenery!!!!!!!!

Cheers you guys,  here is some areal views and ive done some more figures, gees these guys are small and if i keep doin these then the 35 figs should get a lot easier.

Oh man, Andy--this is GRRRREAT!!

LOL! How cool, how coool!!!

The figures look excellent! Much better than mine!!

That KT looks tremendous as well! 

Could you take a BIG photo of the whole scene? It's hard to get a sense of it from the close ups?

Bodge, some serious dio work going on here...I have looked at everything and don't have anything to offer as far as constructive criticism...just git 'er done, man !!!  Everything from the zimm to the markings to the figs are simply incredible for 72nd scale...

I love the story-line of the KT cracking the stone bridge---what a neat idea...5 stars all the way... 

PS: where's the chicks?

I just love your scene, and great idea of the Tiger cracking the bridge too. One of the best ground work jobs i've ever seen, and the fact its brail scale my hats off to you. I could never paint figures that good in that scale. Excellent JoB!

You da man, Andy!!!  Just AWSOME.....!

But dare I ask.. the thing on the Panther... Is that really a cat, or a mini-cow??

Still EXCELLENT... BEAUTIFUL.... BREATHTAKING....

Latest updade is ive done a Tiger 11 with Porche turret and finnished some more figures and had a shuffle about a bit. The story so far is the unit has recently moved into the area and the Tiger2 has started to cross the bridge but it is showing signs of the weight as it has opened up a large crack. Question is will it fit on the bridge and will it take the weight without total collapse. I have finnished some more figs including a panzer crew with officer and two members of the panther crew which are loading some camo onto it that they are breaking off the bushes. Still more to do yet but at least a story line is starting to emerge. Hope you like.

WOW, Andy--that is fantastic! The vehicles look great! I can't give you any critique on the dio or groundwork, but I'm courious as to your thinking on the Panther? Could you actually open up a Panther engine like that without a field crane? I hope so--that engine looks great! One more thing--I don't believe that you could have the anti-airvraft MG in the cupola--I'm pretty sure that the same one used in the hull MG was the commander's option to mount as an AA gun? Great little RSO with the Pak and the tractor--where'd you find them? Who makes them? All you needis a little 1/72fraulein out back of the house to provide a little extra "story line" to this magnificent scene!

My latest update to the dio, Panther and rso,s.

Well, I am, but he wouldn't know that necessarily.

Okay, I'm going back to watching this dio take shape now.
