      Really Awesome. I don't think this diorama can be taken apart & displayed at a model convention. I also realized you'd have to take all the figures off etc. The diorama is perfect where it is & I"m glad I watched this video

    Best thing on the Internet. I had this hobby too but people criticised me for it "how old are you son?". After watching your dads dedication, i have decided to revive this hobby and love for figures and dioramas. May God Bless you with health so you can do more dioramas and add details day by day. Love from Pakistan.

    This is incredible. There's Military Dioramas and then there's ones called Super Dioramas. This Diorama fits that class! What I'd like to see are some closeups. I know that zooming in on all the detail would make for a pretty long video, but this model is worth it.

    That's just brilliant. ❤. I've noticed that your dad has a couple of Krupp K5 railway guns. I'm lucky in the fact that I've visited the Calais area in France where they used and stored the K5`s. Also there is a refurbished K5 in a museum near Calais called Batterie Todt. I`m hoping to visit the Area in Poland where they tested the Schwerer Gustav railway gun which I've noticed that your dad also has. Please say thankyou from me to your dad for a wonderful set up. 😊❤
