AMAZING NEWS!!!!!! THE PACIFIC DIORAMAS!!!

Post by oldbreedmarine » Mon Jul 09, 2012 10:24 am

For the past few months I've saved up quite a bit of money and I'm ordering about $140 worth of 21st century toys Marines, and $60 on Japanese soldiers! I know it's alot of money and so far I've got a total of $110 and still saving, but I'm going to make sooo many dioramas depicting Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa! It'll take me quite awhile probably months ,but I promise to keep you all regularly informed with progress pictures! Ideas are more than welcome! :D :D :D

For such a project, we are glad to be patient. Over time, I've collected about more than 60 BBI modern figures, half in desert suit, half NATO, plus about 20 "ennemies". Most difficult is to get 1 group of 6 to 8 men with about the same equipment. But it's not so realistic to engage into a diorama too much people in a too small scene... Good luck!
