A diorama built using bonsai trees, earth, and some 1/72nd soldiers.
The first exhibit that caught our eye was a very large, huge in fact, Tiger tank standing maybe 2 to 3 foot tall and making all the right sounds with it’s onboard sound system and tank commander moving his arms and head. Very impressive, heavy and costly.

"The soldiers are drinking while on duty. The soldiers are AIRFIX multipose. The bottles were hand carved from wood and labels glued on. The diorama is scratch built. The base is Styrofoam,cobble stone was individually cut out and placed to make the road." Nick Nasta
These are a series of pictures taken at the War and Peace show of the diorama.
am continuing my theme of DDay to Berlin now incorporating a Diorama set of about 20 feet by 10 feet. This will represent DDay plus 12 the push at Caen.
I did this diorama for the D-Day celebrations in June 2004. The model vehicles are 1:48 or 1:50 scale and are Solido/Gaso.line conversions or Bandai kits or Verlinden models. If you don't know about these conversions the standard Solido models which are die-cast do not have very much detail or decent paint jobs so I improve them by taking the Gaso.line kits and modifying the Solido ones. I then give them an extra special paint job. Sean Maley
