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.

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:

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

Absolutely stunning, to say that this diorama is museum quality is an understatement.
Thanks for sharing the build with us.
Regards
Richard :thumbs_up_1:

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
