We are gettin our loft done up soon for my diorama room, so I will have a few dios!
Have one on a table (all my old Arnhem pieces with a bridge which I built) which are set on a table, an will take pictures and will try to place them exactly how they were, I hope!
Have an XXX Corps diorama in the making, but can't put it down until the poft is done due to lack of space! Have even made several plans!
Would like to show XXX Corps entire movement, from the Irish Guards Sherman Firefly's engaging the german forces hidden in the forests hidden by netting, to the tanks and vehicles in single file to moving along that single road, to XXX Corps in Brussels where they started off from!
Will be rather long, but will include long sections of dirt road with tanks in single file, the King and Country pontoon bridge with a build-a-rama mat under it, and hopefully if I can get some dutch buildings, a civilian town area with tanks, vehicles and men preparing to push off
And maybe even the king and country civvies from the Fob range if they fit in!
I also have a large Bulge diorama to look forward to building!
Got the D-day jimmy truck, halftrack, and patrol jeep moving past an American position with the 105mm Beside the road to provide cover for the convoys moving along the road. Also have the wounded sherman which I would like to add to the diorama where the tank which is the leader of a small patrol has went over a mine and is now under german ambush or something! Also have a rather large bulge which Tony made, and I think he said it was his first attempt, he took it to a london show and displayed sets on it, before sending it down to me for it to arrive on Boxing Day! It's a great piece! Would also like to hopefully add the newer American sets: Ambulance, tuck, riders, medics, and MP set to the convoy base scene with the jimmy, and a few of the germans to make a small scene in the dio of Germans who have just attacked an American column and are stealing supplies and walking past the dead and the blown up vehicles. Finally would like to add a scene of the 101st defending the Ardennes forest with fox holes and craters and lots of trees hiding the men in the fox holes!
Also have a diorama with the newer arnhem sets which I am going to get a 1/30th scale model or arnhem bridge made!
Or may just make it a ramp and maybe half the bridge!
Got a small diorama depicting the death of the scum bag heydrich (who's name does not deserve a capital) with some Fob british laying down cover fire for the Czech Resistance fighters as they kill the scum, however german paras have came upon the scene and are trying to catch the resistance fighters (I know totally historically innacurate!)
I would also like to create an Airfield diorama with British and American Paratroopers before they took off for Operation Market Garden, with spitfires and hurricanes and RAF crew on the airfield!
Also got American 3rd Infantry Sets and DD28 Rangers Set which I would like to create a little diorama with, maybe a patrol through a French town looking for some more germans to kill and capture!
And I have some 82nd and 101st Airborne sets, however I am not sure whether or not to create a small scene with American paras capturing Nijmegen/Grawe, or maybe even a blown up Son Bridge during OPM, or a D-day diorama with them all, as the uniforms are the wrong kind for market garden!
Am also wanting to create a large Waterloo diorama with my Trophy Miniatures and WBritains sets!
Gpt the British Landing craft and 2 British commando sets as well, and 1 Ranger set, On the Beach Set B.
And finally, I would like to create a small diorama showing a scene from Black Hawk Down, Got 3 special forces sets, and would like to get some of the desert buildings!
