'Lost in France' Diorama

[chalkyw]

Finally I've finished this diorama which has been lying around for a while waiting for inspiration, I've had a small build thread going (http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... 29&t=18794) which if you've been kind enough to have followed then thanks very much and I hope you enjoyed it.

Anyway here we go.....I've called this 'Lost in France' as the Carriers have stopped to discuss directions with the Paras and I guess the timeline is a few days after D-Day somehwere in Normandy following the breakout from the beaches.






















Well there it is.......really enjoyed this one and I think its my best to date in the 6 months since I started modelling again.
It would be great to hear what you think and I hope you enjoy looking.....till next time
Cheers

Great representation of the bocage landscape in normandy! i love it great job on the figures too. i can imagine that painting on these camo patterns on the uniform is not easy.

superb job mate - one really gets the depth and enormity of the bocage.you can just imagine a group of Germans with panzerfausts waiting round the corner in the undergrowth to ambush this troop.its not often you get a diorama with such an intensity and feel to it.once again great work and great skill levels.

Yes, very much agreed the landscape is brilliant, and a very cool diorama

Thanks Dave ......yep, I've found myself looking at it and noticing things I don't even remember doing, like the poppy flower I made as a 'lest we forget' gesture, you can just see it in a couple of the pics.......pretty chuffed with how this one turned out

[DaveGreen]

Brilliant work. Particularly like the guy sitting on the gate, nice touch. The foliage and grasses are first class. Well done, sir!
