Great tribute and awesome modeling as always Ron, .... plus what everybody else said.

PS. Love the black and white shots, I had to get my glasses to make sure you weren't sneaking in some "Life" magazine
photos. Very convincing, I love it!

Jim.

I’m simply speechless mate . This is so brilliantly done , it transcends just being a model diorama . Its a snapshot of a scene of horrror , sacrifice and unbelievable courage that most of us couldn't even begin to imagine . Your superb vision gives us that chance - and its a sobering , humbling experience . We will never forget them
Very well said indeed.

Thanks to Doug and John for your positive comments. Much appreciated. :thumb2:

I'm off on another sabbatical for a week or so. Hopefully see you all when I return.

Take care.
Ron

Sorry to have to land on the beaches once more, but I've just signed back onto the forum after a spell away and noticed I've not responded to a couple of posts, so........

Si and Lee. Thank you both for your generous comments. I'm glad you like my diorama. :thumb2:

Cheers.
Ron
