"Horror" Falaise

I enjoyed watching your diorama come together Jim. The result is a top effort, catching the very essence of what you set out to do. So much detail, awesome work.

Simply a superb piece of work Jim. There's so much to look at, clever little details are everywhere.


Having watching your build thread I know the time & skill you've put into this & it was all worth it.


I'm quite tempted to start a series of dios based on particular battles of WWII. The only problem is most would need lots of figures - my weakest area! Still, with this as inspiration... who knows!

Thanks Patrick, kept pics dark and sinister but I think I'll do a reshoot with more light maybe out side on a cloudy day. nice to have started Su76, simple kit work and something I can accomplish in a reasonable amount of time. Large dios do tend to bog the mind a bit.


your hunting Tiger is the bomb imo, loved it! would like to see your rendition of a battle, I'm sure you will research it fully and do a bang up job. Give us a hint won't you once you have something in mind.....Cheers...Jim

A lot of work gone into this and a concept brought together over a fair period of time.  This is far from kit building in the normal sense as hardly anything on it is a straight build. Just about everything has been altered to get the look and effect you wanted, that is dedication.


As for picture quality, I am not sure perfect pictures would have done it any favours.  I think as it is, the pictures really convey the feeling of the diorama.

Thank you for your kind appreciation Graham, I did bash them about unmercifully didn't I?  I'm never really happy with anything I do when it is all said and done, maybe that's a good thing as it makes me want to improve with each new project. Maybe a re-shoot under different conditions if the folks would bare.


Starting SU76 SSIG, nice to do something simple for a change, will keep all updated of course.............Jim

I'm thinking of the lesser known battles of WWII, such as the dreadful fighting in the Hürtgen forest. Thousands of men died there, more than Normandy, Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge but hardly anyone knows about it.

So much to see with stunning detail throughout.


The time and dedication you put into this diorama has paid off Jim as this is a masterpiece.


should be on display in a war museum

Quite effective and horrible.


The pix look best (to me) if you zoom in and eliminate the edges of the diorama  so perhaps some shots with the edges cropped out would catch the power of your diorama more effectively.

Beautifully done Jim.


If only more people realised how gruesome war can be.....

Thanks so much Stuart, the Missus says the house is starting to look like a war museum ^_^  will have to think small for a while lest me and my kit and caboodle get the boot ^_^

I agree Dave....I'm doing my best to show them ^_^

Brilliant modelling skills, Jim. I can't begin to do this justice in words. I'd have nightmares for weeks if I'd made this!

Thanks so much Doug, if you look back to one of my in progress threads I believe I had mentioned having a rather nasty dream about a car wreck which shook me and lead me to take a bit of a break on work for a bit :/
