Stephen Armstrong shares with us some images of another of his dioramas based around Monti Casino. As we know the fighting took place in and around the town as well as the abbey and this is where this Diorama is set.

Very nicely executed dio. Well painted and laid out plus you can understand what's going on without any explanation which shows that it works Well done Stephen.

Well done ! Waouh I like particulary the paint job on figures and the blast effect on the wall.
The base ground is a bit small because of the tank position.

Another well done scene. How do you find the time to keep finishing dios? The figures really portray a sense of action & direction. But I have to agree that the base seems too small,, the Stug looks like its' gonna drive off the edge instead of coming around the building.

Wow no prisoners taken here lol with the comments, I agree with you on the base being abit small I was trying to keep it small and compact, guess it was abit to small lol. They don't always work out how you plan.
As for the rest thanks for your kind words appreciate. Some of these are older dios I had on the shelf, thought I would share enjoy.

Nicely done!
I have corrected the header to the feature to the proper spelling of Monte Cassino.
