American G.I. Arrival in Germany! (1 Viewer)

[TomNT]

Hi all

I have recently finished a small diorama to fit in with my two other dio's that work together. The section is the cobblestone road that turns into a dirt road. I will put in a couple of road signs at a later date. Here are the results with a depiction of a US armoured column and 82nd airborne unit arriving at a church, farmhouse and barn in Southern Germany. A medic crew also evacuates a badly injured G.I. while a light armoured unit and some G.I.'s have a break while the crew of a Priest repair their vehicle.

P.S. I took quite a few pic's so it may take a short while to upload.

That's what I'm talking about Tom! ...... US Armor in mass, love it.

That's a great collection you have there, and the scenic buildings by Jakob really bring it all to life. Well done. ^&cool

Thanks fellas and I forgot to mention that the late great Shannon is in my dio attending to the wounds of a G.I., I hope you like Pete.

Here are some more pic's where the lighting I think is not so good. I wasn't going to post initially but bugger it, i'll post anyway.

Wonderful series Tom. Particularly like the courtyard scene with the recon vehicles. Chris

Hi Tom,

This is just fantastic! While I've certainly liked the other dioramas you've shared here on the forum, I think this one is one of your best. Lots to see with the various US vehicles; some splendid pieces in fact. The landscaping and structures are most excellent. I really like how you have incorporated the 82nd in the bushes. Really nice detailed touch (and sneaky too). Overall, a great dio. That's it, I've got to expand my US D-Day collection. Top notch!

These are the last lot I promise!

Tom,

Is that the Free French Scout Car (DD103) you have pictured or something older?

Love the additional pics as well!
