Absurdly nice job, fantastic details!!! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

WOW-WOW-WOW!

What a treat for a modelmakers soul!!!

Cheers, DAniel

Now that is really something!!! Wow!

The sheer amount of work needed to get such consistentent high level on such a large project is dazzling, yet you completed it in less than one year. Even if you work very fast and efficient (your setup in the pics does show the latter indeed), you still must be able to devote a lot of free time to it. I'm jeallous! :)

And what a result! not just a huge collection of details, but everything fits and works together to tell the story. The composition is great (not easy with this many items in a dio!), and the placement of the figures is excellent. How many figures did you put there?

Cheers,

Marijn

Absolutely stunning, to say that this diorama is museum quality is an understatement.
Thanks for sharing the build with us.

Exceptionnel! It is really impressive! All the details, but also the composition of the different elements.

Using system of rating agencies I must give you for this result a "AAA+"!!!

Incredible that these vehicles are 1/350 scale ... not talking about the super build vessels and the complete diorama itself! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Honestly ... I make beside ships also military vehicles in 1/87 (= H0 scale) and here I feel now like a crude modeler in comparison to your excellent result in 1/350 ... how must these 1/35 tank modelers feel now? :big_grin:

:woo_hoo: :woo_hoo: :woo_hoo:
Incredibly amazing!

Wow , wow , wow !!!! This is just sooooo amazing . Lost for words , just magnificent ! :thumbs_up_1:

Jenny :wave_1:

If this thing doesn't win awards I'm quitting....period!

:worship_1: :worship_1: :worship_1:

Fan-tas-ti-que!!!

So much details in there, it's perfect!

Alain

To quote Indiana Jones, "it belongs in a museum!" :thumbs_up_1:

Oh my goodness, that is magnificent! I spent quite some time looking at the above photos - what a stunning diorama!

Wonderful diorama. It tells a story but there are stories within the story. Amazing how much is going on.
Thanks for sharing your work. It's inspirational.

Alain,

Magnificent! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Your work is a wonderful tribute to those exceptional men and women of seventy years ago.

Unbelievable detail for a diorama of this scale and scope.

Very best regards,

Mac

Hello,

This is the diorama of MULBERRY is completed. Reminder, the action of the Diorama is located on 16 June 1944, facing the beaches of Omaha Beach during the landing of the first LST on a pontoon MULBERRY

10 months of fun to get there.

For the implementation of the figurines, I tried to make the small scenes and not to small random figures. The sailors are at North Star and the soldiers are from the (Marine fighting positions) Arsenal.

Looking at the photos you will see that soldiers have their personal weapons.

Some will find that the number of vessels is too dense. But the testimonies of the time reference in a Black Sea of ships. In addition, the smaller the interval between barges is 53 mm approximately 18 meters in 1/350 scale.

Now place the photos.

Hello,

I finally finished vehicles. It is the last big part of the Diorama. I'll go to the sailors and soldiers and make the final implementation.

The trucks below are intended to be installed on top of the LST. You will notice on top of loads of bikes designed by Jean.
