Thanks for the link Swanny

What a great diorama

The only place of seen similar are some of the dioramas on display in the Australia War Memorial in Canberra.

Wayne I enjoy getting older, especially when I consider the alternative.

[:0] if it got anymore realistic i'd hear gun shots! Does anyone know the scale? I'm surprised there is no landing craft or least not in the pics. i wish he had taken a smaller pic of the whole thing. Absolutely amazing!

Aaaaamaaaaazing... I had ambitions like that when I first started out, especially after I saw Saving Private Ryan, and Enemy at the gates, but I am going to have to wait a few 10 years till im out of the house and have a place to put something like that in my own house... cause I dont want to store it in an appartmant till I buy my own house. lol I wouldnt be able to get it through the door to move it to my new house.

This is great. I'm so impressed. I've never seen a dio like this before. I thought it was the scene from Saving Private Ryan when they hit Normandy that was made into a diorama. Bow [bow]

Finally got it to work.

Wow! That is fantastic! A very powerful work, indeed.

Now I know why it didn't work; a ton of huge pictures!
