Great work with this diorama, and all the super-details highlighted in the last set of pictures increase the overall value.
best compliments !!

Thank you for the new bunch of pictures, stephane42. They help make the excellent quality of your diorama even more apparent.

Excellent eye for small details and effects.....where there actually sea mines in the river?!?

[Minuteman]

Remarkable modelling work! The attention to detail is excellent and the river looks very realistic.

One question: Is the emplaced gun a Pak 36 or a Pak 38? It looks somewhat like the smaller Pak 36, although I believe that the gun actually emplaced next to the canal was a 50mm Pak 38. I also note the shells and shell cases around the position, although I'm wondering whether the gun's crew actually managed to fire any shots at all before the bridge was taken.

Wonderful painted motorcycle. Is it from the RAF Recovery set from Airfix?

Hello Minuteman!
Here is the box where the bridge and the cannon pack 35 come from:

Indeed this cannon did not fire on the day of the pride of the bridge. I haven't found anything to that effect. I found on the internet that this gun was used by British paratroopers to reduce snipers in houses opposite. Not having enough powerful weapons, they use this pack 35. They shoot only a few shots. After I put a lot of casings for the decor...

Hello Mabo, sorry for the delay in response. Here is the link for the motorcycles which are super detailed. You can find them on Etsy. It is Warworld72 that makes them and many other English and American miniatures. You will find other creators on this site if you search carefully...Good surfing!
