The wife and I were looking at the pictures we took when we went to Normandy for a month a couple of years ago or so. We spent much of the time following in the foot steps of the U.S PIR's, both the 101st and the 82nd. Visiting all the D.Day locations of their major battles and the memorials.
It was whilst looking at our photos, I came up with an idea for a simple diorama. But first here is a finished - minus weathering - 101st Paratrooper, who will be with other figures in the dio..
Brush painted with Vallejo model colour. The detail, including the insignias, were done with Humbrol enamels. The gun strap, helmet straps and cammo. net all scratch made.
The pictures are a bit dark, and the helmet netting needs re-painting a darker shade....must try harder.
I hope you like the wee man - complete with blacked up chops!
Thanks for looking in.....
