Went to the re opened national war memorial today. Once again Peter Jackson and Weta involved . Very impressive , takes you through full sized movie set type displays of each year of the war starting in a Belgium st pre war. Full trench still to come in august. From a toy soldier collectors perspective a very impressive trench warfare diorama. Too many people to take photos today but will return and post photos.

Sounds amazing mate, I hope to pop down to 'Welly' at some stage to see it in person myself. It really would be great if you could manage to post some photo's, I'm sure there would be plenty of interest from TF members who would appreciate seeing more. I know I would.^&grin
Cheers!

Cheers mate, yeah I figure there will be the usual mad rush in the next few weeks over opening, then the dust will start to settle and make a visit far more enjoyable.

Look forward to seeing some pic's, when you can.

A VERY impressive achievement. It boggles my mind to see 5000+ figures in the correct scale landscape. As was commented on in the blogs, the sheer number of casualties shown is overwhelming and quite shocking in it's scope. -- Al
