A great scene with so much work gone into it. Really enjoyed reading and seeing how you conceived the idea and produced it. Excellent work :thumb2:

Thank you friends, I'm very glad you like it.

Peter, you have a point there. The reason why I went for this slope instead of the typical bocage scene is because I was aiming for the Band of Brothers silhouettes style. I also wanted someting else than a typical Bocage diorama with bushes in the background. Thank you sir.

Magnificent work!!! And excellent step by step thread :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Thanks for sharing!

I see what you mean about going for the BoB silhouette, a nice change. What about converting it into a boxed diorama so they are on the brow of a hill with a dramatic skyline behind them.. A boxed diorama would ensure one viewing point ensuring the sihouette effect.

You did such an excellent job at the foliage I am sure you would makea great hedgerow.

Just my thoughts, it is still a great little diorama - one to be proud of.

Guy, I missed this so started from the beginning...fantastic work.
Dioramas are one of my favorite to do and this is really giving me inspiration to revive David and Goliath. I've been looking for US paratroopers so far only relying on Dragon figures to modify them.

Cheers,
Richard

Thank you friends.

Richard, these paratroopers are from Soga Miniatures.

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks Guy, they're nice but expensive. I may have to modify my own.

Cheers,
Richard

Well I've just seen this one Guy, and what can I say that hasn't been already said, outstanding work. The work on the figures is just awe inspiring.

this is amazing, love how you chopped the figures around to get the look you wanted (I wish I had that skill), the dio looks fantastic and the quality of painting is incredible. you are very talented sir!!

Matt, Joe, I'm not that skilled at all my friends, it's a matter of not giving up, of falling and getting up again.:face-with-head-bandage::dizzy:
Many thanks for upping the diorama.
