Citizen Soldiers 1:35

[tekzo]

my latest project base on Citizen Soldiers book, had the book since 2003, famously on Band of Brothers series, the story of 101st Airborne Division jumping into behind enemy lines on D-Day until the end of war, I believe most of you know the story

diorama set: a scene when troops got ready into the C-47, for size dimensions I had to cut the plane to minimize space.

cheers

great to see more of your work

This looks very interesting. I have that book too, along with several others by Stephen Ambrose. The need to cut the C-47 might give the possibility to show some interior detail with some troops already inside.

This does look promising. I seem to recall a similar diorama by the late Shep Paine, using the Monogram C-47 (showing my age here). I think there are even places where you can download the how-to brochure he did.
