Jason Lehrer covers in-depth the building of an LCM3 landing craft. This is one of the central components in a diorama he has built depicting an LCM3 being loaded onto a Dragon Wagon by crane. The diorama is based upon a photo taken in Maastricht 1945.

There was an excellent diorama of a T34 crew replacing the turret of their tank, with a blown barrel, with one from a sunk Russian river gunboat. This one equals that for conception, quality and brilliance of execution.

Just some awsome work Jason. I love large dio's and this is one fantastic one you have created. Ending up with the Trump kit when my L.H.S. closed, I see I have some work to do on her. This will be of great help when it does get on the bench. Thanks for sharing the info and the adventure with us. bob d.

Maybe I'm daft but the photos in the linked article all show a tank being constructed. The solo photos of the diorama are great but methinks the 9 page written description has photos of a tank!

Am I just working on a possessed computer?

Nope, that is what I see too. Very strange.
