spacewolf Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Stunning... this belongs in a museum ! If you can get it out of the shed, contact your nearest military museum or legion ... this deserves to be appreciated by many and with the family story to go with it is an important bit of history.

Joel_W Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just an incredible piece of modeling. One rarely sees a diorama with some much detail, and each detail being exquisitely built and detailed. Joel Wafu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thunnus, What a impressive build. You really nailed it. Most spirals I've seen in 1/48 scale leave a lot to be desired, but yours looks as perfect as I the real deal. Just the right amount of AM details added to bring your build to the next level. And your camo paint scheme is dead on perfect. Joel Wafu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 First of all, thank you for all your likes, kind words, comments and suggestions. I do plan to break it out of the shed, good job I went for double doors on the shed when I bought the shed, foward thinking from my wife me thinks;) I am good friends with a professional photographer, I might have to pull a few favours and get some photos done. Having said that I will add some of the different scenes within the diorama, I'll add a little text to ex plane what was going through my head and how/what I used to replicate it. Thank you all again. Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafu Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hello again. In response for a few more pictures I've tried to do the best I could. Officers and men drinking tea around the NAFFI and USA Red Cross trucks. Time for the off, Troops move off for the final time before embarking the awaiting troop ships, while tanks from the 13th/18th Hussars pull ammunition sleds call Porpoises to the waiting LCT's What would life be without officers and clipboards?? Two senior officers ensure every detail is checked while their staff WREN holds on to her cap in the stiff breeze. A Centaur tank of the Royal Marines reverses onto the LCT. On the dockside members of the press recorded the historical event for future generations. Tank crews take a break and enjoy the proximity of the NAFFI van before lashing down the tanks for the sea crossing. Chance to chat, smoke and reflect on whats to come? The Royal Navy busy as ever, the officers on the bridge receive and dispatch signals via semaphore and Aldis lamp, whilst the junior ratings on deck wait for further orders. A civil policeman stops the traffic to ensure the troops cross safely, watched by a British Army Red cap. In the foreground, a photographer takes a snap of a regimental piper. I have to say I hate painting figures, 107 of them. I tried to improve but I think I've hit my peak. Thanks again for the kind words and I hope you enjoy the few little extra photo's.
