1/72 World War 2 Diorama - Pegasus Bridge

[MSea]

Great research - are you positive you arn't a rivet counter - hohoohho

[zak]

Barriers added and painted.
Lights added but still to be painted - scratch built from rod and stuff.
Photo from Bob shows the lights.

The problem of research on line, is that it is never really obvious what is right and what isn't. The best guess will have to do,
I have a feeling the antitank bunker may have been moved at some stage, but who knows. Present photos show it as 8 sided, but should it be circular??

Lots and lots of research there Dave.

[zak]

Lots of rethinking as well.
I have added a second board to move the Antitank gun a little further from the bridge and also to add a trench system along the sides of the canal, with machine gun posts.

How BIG will the final model be

How BIG will the final model be        

Well maybe 2ft x 3ft but who knows at this stage!!!!!!!

[MSea]

So a very small finished model then

Mocking up the bunker in card for a start.

Another diorama that's going to grow and grow.

Anti tank gun and the view across the bridge.

This might amuse you all.
Italeri either struggle with English or their proofreaders were on strike!

[MSea]

Have seen worse     

[chriswil42]

Leaves one speechless.

Working on the trench and bunker system.

The model for the next base.
This is the Italeri Airspeed ASA.52 Horsa Mk1
Just trying to decide how to sort the glazing out, as apparently both pilots went through the windscreen, Many of the on line photos show this glider, but they seem to be after the cockpit had been looted, So best imaginings I guess.
