Finished this diorama today... Hope you enjoy Monte and his troops relaxing, restocking and testing their equipment during a brief respite from the relentless war with Rommel...

This diorama is so dynamic no matter the angle, I think it's just brilliant and I wish I could see it with my own eyes. It was worth every minute you've been working on it Joe. Congrats my friend. The photos are ready to be put on the cover of a magazine. We know it's a diorama but people who don't might think they are real life Ww2 pics.

Joe, that is stunning work! Congrats on having such well-balanced, effective positions and a rich storyline! Too bad you can't bring that to the IPMS Nationals in Vegas, it would be a thrill to see this in person!
