A Diorama that took more than two years to complete, only because I put it off until a little over a week ago. Depicts a CG-4a WACO Glider as it may have looked on D-Day. If you can find the Jeep, you get a cookie.

Hi Chuck
Nice one! Two years to build... that's still quicker than almost everything I start!
I found the Jeep! Ahh the wonders of Photoshop!:
What sort of cookies do you recommend? - your ones in the States are probably different to the biscuits we have in Blighty.
All the best

Two years or more ago I start this thing, then got diverted by other projects. I'm currently working on cleaning up / finishing started projects before I go on to others.

I'm sure they are, I recommend Famous Amos Chocolate Chip
Hard to see the Guys in Shadow of the Wing too, my lighting control is terrible

Jean-Luc,
Thanks for your kind words. My dioramas don't compare to your excellent word, but I do enjoy building them. That is really what the hobby it is all about isn't it ?

Chuck,
Another good diorama! I think your layout and composition is super, and appreciate that you didn't try to busy it up with distracting too-much-extras. As Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe said, less is more!
