Eric has built over a year on this huge diorama which holds 6 vehicles and 36 figures, 10 trees and a lot of wood for the bridge. It is a diorama that lets you find something new every time you look at it .


Crossing the Dresna River

Don't know what to say on top that's absolutely outstanding!!!
Bravissimo Eric

Hi,

Eric, absolutely fantastic dio

I had the pleasure to see the dio at the KMK meeting in Geel (Belgium). It must have taken AGES to build something like that. Sublime modeling. Congrats, Eric !

Well done Erik. A supermodel to be proud of! All the work has definately paid off! Its great to see so many horses in a dio, because in reality there were so many used! Every time I see shows on Discovery all convoys seem to have so many, but is something that is almost overlooked by modellers. Nice one!

Eric,
As always a great job on both the final outcome and documenting/photographing your work in-progress. Keep this up and you will be writing books like Verlinden, Zaloga, and Shep Paine.

Cheers,
Jim

FANTASTIC DIO, EXCELENT PAINTWORK

hi, great work Eric and very nice brigde, but I was wondering, how long does it take to make such a dio like this?!?!?!Great work

Laurie

WOW,
great detail on each aspect.
What patience.

Thanks for sharing,

Andrew

This something else again. The article, and i've only looked through it superficially, is well worth reading carefully as well. Though not the world's greatest fan of german armor, this is noteworthy for being more representative of the late-war german army than few other dios. When I first saw the dio. from the photos of KMK, It really captured my interest, thank you for posting this and more importantly thanks for sharing your work with us in this form...Jim

Awsome!!

:-) Eric..you are a genius...we're not worthy...we're not worthy. I am in awe. I have an idea for a huge diorama..but i'm just a LOT scared to do it. Now that i see what an effort it is to do one of that scale I might just tone it down..... a lot. Congratulations! Jeff

Thanks Ronny for posting it .

Eric

Well as i told earlier i wanted to do something else than the usuall panzer dio ..

Glad you liked it

Laurie ,

It took more than one year to create this dio..

Thanks Jim for your kind words..

And maybe there's hope for the future...you'll never know..

Till later ( Next item is on it's way )

Eric

To all others ,

I want to thank you all for your kind words.
This is what it makes it all worth wild.
I never intend to make such a large dio in the first place but when the work progressed
for what the plastics concerns i had to fit them all together in one dio .
Even i was scared of the size of this dio and more than once i wanted to drop the whole subject .
But when the work progressed i even get some fun in building it .
Eventually i was pleased that the work was done so i can focus on other things like my Pointe du Hoc diorama wich will be 3 times bigger in size than this one .
For now i'm building some thing small for a change as a study for the PdH .
Almost all the items for PdH are in stock now so all i have to so is start building the kits and the figures .
This dio has to be finished in two Years when the Twenot is having theire 30th anniversary .

Again i will thank you all for your kind words .


Yours sincerly

Eric
