Thanks Scott...

Hi Dan! Wonderful piece of work! What else can I say that hasn't been said already. Seeing this in person will be another reason why I can't hardly wait for MMSI this year! Hopefully we will see you there. Great Job-
Scott

I'll see you at MMSI.

Hi Andy...

This is absolutely superb, I cant think of a better dio that Ive seen.

Those figures alone are fantastic but added to the buildings and groundwork, well !!!

Where are the figures from ?

Am I allowed to make one tiny teeny comment ?

The shoulder wings on the PIAT (?) Gunner look a little awkward in relation to the angle of the arm !



Very much in awe,

Andy

The figures are a mix of all kinds of stuff, Verlinden, Hornet, New World Miniatures, Wolf, Friendship Models, DML all kinds of stuff really. Now that I look at that patch it is a little funky position wise. I'll see if I can toy around with it a bit. Thanks again!

Thank you Adrian...

That's one impressive piece of work Dan!

The dio exhibits amazing attention to detail and a high and consistent quality of work.

Overall composition is excellent, with the three levels; coming from the Arnhem area I must gripe that the river bank is a bit extreme in its depiction though. The high quay wall and rocky shore you will not find in this part of the netherlands.

Nevertheless, the dio breathes the Arnhem-atmosphere and with all the details finished at such a high level it is a piece of modelling art!

And I am very envious of your discipline that allows you to finish something like this in about half a year! Man...

Cheers,
Adrian

I must admit I embellished the river bank a bit but I wanted to take advantage of the multi-level dynamic. Appreciate the comments.

Carl.

It's a OOP resin kit from Custom Dioramics. Very very very hard to find. I had to scratch build pretty much the entire roof as the one in the kit I got had many missing parts.
