That is looking really good, Mike! Both the diorama itself and obviously the figures! Awesome painting skills! 👍 👍
One question though, regarding the figure with the Thompson standing next to the wounded paratrooper: what kind of Thompson is that? It has the simplified rear sight and the bolt handle on the right side of the M1A1 but a longer (16 inch) barrel like on a modern replica M1927A1 (but without the front sight on the muzzle)? I don't think I have ever seen a Thompson like that? Certainly not in use with WWII British / US troops 🙂 The US military adopted the Thompson 1928A1 at War's start and later on introduced the simplified versions M1 and M1A1. Other Thompson versions were not military issue. So now I'm kind of curious what version that is 🙂

Yeah? That's strange? That Nemrod figure is supposed to have an M1A1, at least, according to the image on ScaleMates : Pathfinder, Normandie, Juin 44 (Nemrod N35041, 1:35)
Anyway, I was just curious, doesn't really matter 😉
Again, your work is absolutely stunning and inspiring!! 👍 👍
