Terrific job. The diorama is very effective.
The diorama really brings things to life. Nice result.
Brilliant representation! When I was growing up we had a Pole working on the farm. He had been on tanks during the war. Escaped at Dunkirk and back again on D-Day.
Hello Roos, I think the Pole could write a book with the events would be interesting. Is he still alive and are you in contact with him? Greeting
