John Tells us about this diorama:

The DUKW is by Italeri and the Tamiya Amphibious Jeep round out the vehicles. The figures are both the DML 29th Infantry Division along with the latest figure set by MasterBox with some extra detailing added.

 As always I used all acrylic based scenery material and real sand sifted through a flour sifter. The "Atlantic Wall" was created with Styrofoam packing and spray painted.

Finally the Tamiya  20mm quad FLAK gun was added to the scene as many of these were used against the troops on the beaches!

The Amphibious Truck (Duckboat)

I have built a duckboat similar to the one John uses in this diorama. You can check it out here: The Duckboat model
