Those Commando's are swarming all over the place, poorly defended port installation, but no doubt once the alarm is sounded things will alter fast. Looking forward to using 1-6 numbered buildings, very versatile. Nicely balanced diorama built by the master. Thanks for posting Gordon/Andy. Robin.

The wait is over and im not disappointed! The level of detail is incredible and definitely one of Gordon's best.

Hi Guys,

Several emails came in from collectors wanting a few more details about the “St. Nazaire Dock Raid” dio…so here goes…

The full size of the dio is 44 inches x 22 inches. Gordon took a bit over 3 1/2 weeks to complete it. All of the buildings are permanently fixed onto the jetty as are the little fishing boat and the British Landing Craft Assault boat. An extra little bit of trivia here…our late Dad served his apprenticeship as a boat builder in a little shipyard on the River Clyde during the early part of WW2.

This little yard was one of many contractors who built LCA’s for the Royal Navy during the war. Dad helped build quite a few of these before he joined the Royal Navy in 1942.

For sentimental reasons this particular dio is one of Gordon’s and my own’s personal favorites. We’re both looking forward to showing it in Chicago in a just about a week’s time.

Best wishes and happy collecting!

Andy C.

P.S. Look out for another Chicago diorama being posted tomorrow!

Andy am I right in thinking these excellent buildings will be released at some point?

Looking forward to it Andy and thanks for sharing the story about your dad. If the dio will be for sale at Chicago, I gather it will be difficult for you and Gordon to see it go.
