Bruce,

Exceptionally great piece of work! Well thought out. Nice composition and detail. Freedom has a price that is paid with the sacrifice of so many lives in so many ways. We must never forget all those around the world that fought for freedom then or now especially those that have ultimately paid with their lives. You've captured just such a moment in time.

just wanted to thank all the great people i met at the local model show today who were kind enough to share their positive feedback on this diorama and also offered me constructive feedback as to how i could improve my projects.

a special thank you to Roger and Terry who took the time to share their input and a chance to check out their wonderful works for inspiration.

this was my second model show i have entered and it was an interesting experience. cheers to all the fellow modelers and their great projects, bd.
