Hi Guys,

I will upload some of the latest pics from Daivd this afternoon, the dio is set to head to London and is mostly complete except for a few tiles on the church roof, the dio is one of the best I have seen, not because it's mine, just the detail in the buildings/church are something I haven't seen before, see you all this afternoon...Sammy

Ok guys, here are the photos. I will have to post them in 2 seperate postings since there are 17 photos. Enjoy! Sammy

Different angle from the top view

Just look at the wonderful detailing of the church and the door, just beautiful!

Archway between two of the destroyed buildings where I am thinking of putting a tank driving through

Detailed view of the ground cover with tracks

Look at the individual tiles that are from Italy

That could be the best diorama I have ever seen in this hobby. Magnificent!

Coming form you Louis that's a big statement since you have some very nice dios already, but I agree with you it's one of a kind that's for sure and I guess that's why I like Davids work, it just feels like it puts you there in the battle itself!!! and the detail of the small things to me are important, like the wall paper inside the buildings... no he didn't have to do that nobody can see that from a distance but he takes the time to cover the small things that make it thst much more realistic, the door on the church, the tank tracks in the dios base unreal!!!! my hope is to have David to build me one dio a year for my curio, it has 6 different shelves so I have plenty room, at least for the next 5 years...Sammy

Sammy, I've been watching this come together and I have to say this is a truly wonderful scenic. So many possibilities for cool pictures.

I hope we see some pics once you get it setup at home.
