International Scale Modeller

Like I said before mate, the dutch are famous for their waterworks

For a first try it looks incredible Makes me thinking about adding a dio to my DUKW build.
Only problem is I have no figures for it . You know a good place to get some? Thinking about a driver and maybe a guy sitting in the back, on top off some boxes.

Thanks mate, and good luck winning the D-Day GB. Seeing this, I know I won't.....

Simply brilliant idea beautifully executed.

I was joking Frans...., actually I think I'm going to win this one

No, jokes aside. I really love it. It's a small, simple, but excellent made dio.
Despite it's size, for me it tells the whole story.

Nice work mate - inspiring stuff indeed!

I'm rounding up the last thing as we speak, so you will not have to wait until the evening when i'm back from work...
Around 0700 I will be in the reveal section

I found a really impressive video about Omaha beach during D-Day.
I just had to share it with you guys

Thank you for all great comments guys, I had a blast building this

Did you see the show
D-Day the sacrifice on nat.geo.
That had a lot of film and photo work from the landings and what came after
If not they will probably rerun it a couple of time
But worth the 2 hours of watching

Is it bad that I read the title as "Obama Beach" at first?
