For those loving a diorama I don't think you can get much better than these Italeri kits and this Pegasus Bridge example is amazing. Will share more soon ?

Thanks guys! Jay, glad you mentioned popcorn... this is inspired by one of my favourite films, "The Longest Day", and you can expect to see many themes from this movie unfold between now and the 6th June! Mario, the Picture of the Project is my diorama, or at least how it was looking last week. Thanks John, I hope the finished project lives up to expectation.

Happy to share the popcorn, albeit in a COVID safe way!
The story of the Ox&Bucks' attack is absolutely ready to be retold. Perhaps they should make a movie of it, using the Stephen Ambrose book as the base of the script?

Your, Diorama is amazing! Wow 👍 I started the Glider kit some years ago, but the project is still on hold. The Pegasus bridge kit is the ultimate addition to the Glider kit. Maybe I will take the Glider project back to the workbench...

Marco, I recommend it wholeheartedly! I quite underestimated the space required thinking I'd be able to use some of my base board for something else, hence the shorter than planned canal. Am however pleased with the results, though if I hadn't been constrained by my self imposed completion date, I could probably continue for a couple more months! ?

Can I ask what colors you used to paint the bridge? I am currently working on this kit and could use some help. I really appreciate it!

Roger, that's an interesting question as it seems a long time ago now. I need to have a look at what paints I had at the time. The grey superstructure would have definitely been Vallejo's grey primer as I needed something strong to cope with the absorbent wood. I remember building up a couple of colours on the roadway until I was happy with the look but I'd now need to have a closer look at the bridge to remember what I used 😆🤦♂️
