I was talking to a fellow modeler in Norway recently about some of his WWI dioramas and he was kind enough to share some of his recent WWII based images with me.

Per Olaf's dios are always a pleasure to look at. I remember following the progress of the backyard mechanic dio on another site.

Thanks for the reminder Stephen

I have been fortunate enough to see most of Per-Olaf´s dios in the flesh so far. The second image of the early war Norway scene is being shown in Wentzels in Stockholm at the moment, and i was able to see it up close on saturday past. Havent seen "Courtesy of the USAAF" yet, but hopefully it will be at the IPMS Open next year!!
Really amazing and inspirational stuff!

There's something about the second one that just draws me in. It's fantastic.

I've been seeing quite a few Per Olav dioramas since last year, but courtesy of USAFis by far my preferred one, just one big block of burnt metal right through your face

I need to see the windmill in person, the story line demands it (in so many ways).
