An old favorite of mine "Hold Until Relieved"

[Guest]

Very impressive. Lots of detail. Good photography.

Hi Steve, thank you very much. With digital cameras these days it's as easy as point and shoot. All you need is a large nuetral background and sufficient light. I have a clear roof over my porch that gives good diffused natural sunlight.

Cheers,
Richard

DDAAAAMMMMMNNNN that is the kind of Diorama i love the watch over and over and over again.... FANTASTIC... Well done Richard

:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy: Hi Greg, thanks and glad that there is many things you like about it to relook over and over again. Reposting and seeing it on screen as opposed to having it live before me is quite rewarding and thats why we sit ourselves down for hours on end just building. Friends now understand why I do such a hobby after looking at the results. I bet you get it too.

Cheers,
Richard

Interesting. The black and white gives a more period look.

Yes it does doesn't it Steve. I like it Greg...thanks... especially the second picture with the white fade off looking like a real B/W photo.

Cheers,

That's a fantastic dio!
I went to Normandy at the beginning of the month, drove over Pegasus Bridge (the new one!), obviously visited the Gondree Cafe, the museum as well as countless other locations in the area.

Thanks Lee...beautiful weather at the site and lovely photos. I'd like to make a trip there some day. Interestingly the Condree family & Cafe was the first on 6th of June to be liberated and quite a small piece of real estate at that.:smiling3:

John, it's good you didn't miss this...no worries. The catapult is my second, the bridge was the first attempt at steel section scratching.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard the weather was deceiving we had sun to start with then the rain, thunder, sun, mist, sun, mist, thunder :tired: but it didn't stop me from enjoying myself... as for the rest of the family, well best left unsaid! :smiling5:
I didn't get a picture of the 50mm that's still alongside the bridge :upside:
Keep up these amazing dioramas, they're fantastic

Thanks for posting those photos. It may be old but it is still good quality, scrolling through the photos was a real pleasure.
