That's the way to do Omaha...you get all teh emotion without having a room filling dio and tons of unmodified figures. My only quibble is the guyt bieing aided by the medic, his blood doesn't look right. TYoo red for the green background. But other htan that, it's great.. Thanks for linking this.

I have to agree with Al. Too many dioramas try to do too much. This is just about the right size.
Thanks for the linkage, Paul.

I think the dio is fantastic. The one thing that struck me though is that at least three of the figures look like they are smiling, somehow I doubt there was anything to smile about on Omaha beach on D-Day.

the 25 minutes landing scene on "saving private ryan" was the closest thing.

HI there
Thanks for the link. There are some quite good dios there.
I like the D-day dio as well; nice selection of figures, well painted and catches the chaos there (must) have been on the beaches.
Nice work.
