Awesome and just perfect.
That one where he has the soldier portrayed getting shot and the rifle in front of him as it had just fallen out of his hands is amazing.
Such detail! I can’t believe that it only took 8 months to complete. The realism is just great too!

Saw this one on another forum as well. The work is simply amazing. Each section tells it’s own story, and the sum of all these stories is the story of D-Day at Omaha Beach. Outstanding work!
A little grim but so was Omaha beach. The dead fish and plastic bags for the rifles are amazing little touches! Well done!
jakers, that does create a mood, doesn’t it ?
thanx 4 giving us a look-see, swanny !

Incredible…an amazingly thought provoking work of art. Everyone in my house stopped what they were doing when they saw this.

The Whole thing is amazing! A ton of detail and that Dio deffinitely does tell a story! It looks very realistic! While I enjoyed the fish and weapon covers I think the best thing about all of it is…the blood stained water! Its just so realistic!
excuse me, but this is incredible!
Can’t help but think of Saving Private Ryan. Very graphic and very very well done of that hellish time.
Unbelievable detail- each individual is experiencing and expressing their own physical / mental struggle. Each single story builds the foundation for the overwhelming scene of the larger battle- Increadible
so real are some of the wounded, it is quite disturbing…
Holly Cow!!! That was amazing!
Great pics although it would have been nice to see the whole thing from a bit of a distance to get a “strategic view” of the scene. Staring at those plastic faces from up close is somewhat confusing.
Mind boggling…and completed in only 8 months! This 1 belongs in the D-Day Museum in New Orleans…a masterpiece!
thats unreal, puts you right at omaha beach. Never thought a set of model figures could be put together so well as to convey the reality of such a terrible day. I doubt I will ever see anything better
That is one of the most awesome dioramas I have ever seen. It’s amazing how he managed to put the little things in too, like a rifle and some mortar rounds burried in the wet sand. The only diorama I have seen which comes close to this one is one painted exclusively in shades of grey to make it look like a real WW2 photo.
