Hey all,

As mentioned in an other thread today I visited the museum 'Wings Of Liberation' and faced some real great diorama's I would like to share with you all.
Here are some pictures of an Omaha Beach diorama. Unfortunatly the author of it is unknown...
Again; photograping it was quite difficult because of the glass.

Hey Roel, this were are the picture I had. But you can visit the museum; it's not far away from Belgium Limburg where you live. It's near Eindhoven in The Netherlands. I'm sure you like the museum.

Here's the link to the museums website: Wings of Liberation
