Hello there, I hope you don't mind me posting these here, if its okay (due off to work soon) I'll post the final photo's some time tomorrow, the folded B/W photo is my original idea for the diorama, although not that clear and my stuff new, clean and bright doesn't do myself any favours, but still, I rather like it, and although the above pix is 'not' the finished diorama, I will try and post those tomorrow.
As always, and if possible, I'd like both good and bad comments, thank you.

Very nicely done Al. The only drawback I see is that you need to loose the Amtracks. They were only used in the Pacific.

sure would love an LST in 350 with all the goodies

Kenny - I wouldn't have known any diffrent in the tanks, and to be honest, it would be such a shame to lose so many and not enough Sherman's to go round, might have to turn a blind eye to this one, but thank you for the advise, Steve - you can actually buy landing craft, but its a long and painful expensive in both finding and buying only a few wheel and track type of vehicles, with the Iow and D-day LST there was, as you can see several 1-700 vehicles, so doing the same would cost quite a bit.

Hello there, this is my final D-Day diorama.

The board on which the diorama is made is 20 inches by 9 inches, at times I feel I still have to come to an understanding what a diorama actually is all about, the original photo was folded in half and I began from there, and from the beginning I thought this is going to be large, looking at the diorama now I feel like I could quite easily saw it in sections to give me the correct snips of that part of a diorama I feel I've missed. I won't cut anything, but maybe the next one will be better.
Thank you all for the help, advise and comments.

No worries Al. I think it looks very good!
