Well I think most of the dutch and the Belgium people from this site will know this dio. Even better have seen it live. I have seen it at the KMK Nationals in Mol Belgium this year.
Brilliant diorama. Can`t add more to that. The whole thing looks complete. I really like the way your sherman is Weathered and the mud is top notch

first of all; so nice to have such a talented modeler here.welcome to Armorama. your dio is one word ;excellent. there is nothing to comment for me because everything i see here is very very well done...
BUT my favorite part in your post was your presentation style; just a few tracks and some bridge metal..if interested more in the gallery...very nice way to take interest.
congrats for both ,the dio and presentation

I worship those scratches on the bridge and the water twice, and the rest of the diorama once!

Very well done indeed! Congratulations.

Hi Davy!

I´m all the way down in the south. Area of Siegen.
I guess you´ve been up in the Paderborn area?
Hope you kind of enjoyed your stay!

Thanks by the way for your reply.

Cheers Gunnar

Fantastic diorama ! Can't say enough good things about it !! Only complaint: Not enough pics on the post.... :-)

Incredible work, esp the groundwork and the bridges. The splashes in the water are right on !

Wow !

Cheers !!
