Whoa. That is insane... Plus the price, jeez... I bet it someone's wife WOULD kill them...

But that is so cool

And you guys think you have a problem with storage

That diorama really belongs in a good museum. Wow....... Amazing stuff.

Great find Colonel! This thing is awesome.

Is it just me or do casualties seem extremely light?

Hi,
I agree Olifant. I didnt see any soldiers lying in the surf and, at first glance, couldnt see any medics attending to the wounded. A blown up LCM would have been nice too instead of all three disgorging their personnel. Obviously inspired by the opening scene in "Saving Private Ryan".

Nice! But way to expensive!

Oooooohhh. Nice. Fairly large though. Over seven feet long and four feet wide this will be hand built anew for the lucky buyer, taking just over nine weeks to complete. Then comes the shipping. They indicate that "real send" which I presume is really sand is used. And I presume then fixed in some fashion. I find it a bit hard to credit that this all would survive even $600 worth of shipping across the Pacific and the continental United States to arrive at my door step intact.

And where are the tanks? Amphibs?

Why would it cross the Pacific when it is coming from Toronto?

They might have some problems with English grammar, but I'm pretty sure the sellers are just part of the huge Chinese or Korean community we have here.

"And where are the tanks?"

At the bottom of the Channel. Cant you see the bubbles in the surf?

It looks like the dio is set up in an abandoned Video Store.

My mistake. It just struck me that for $650.00 it was probably taking a South Seas vacation. Actually my mistake. I simply overlooked its location and something made me think it was oriental.

Yup, I agree the casualties are way too light.

For $8,000+ dollars I'll make you one and drive it to your house.

But will YOU keep the casualties down?

Absolutely awesome!!!!!
