This is probably one of the best and largest vigs yet. You will definitely fit in with the WWII fans.

I must repeat what I said on Flickr. This is truly incredible. I am blown away by the detail! Just a small question: how did you attain so many Russian Uniforms for your US troops?

This is astounding! I know that if I had the right brick to make this, I would try and replicate yours! Tell me, do you keep it strictly as a display type thing, or do you play around with it?

Incredible! This is just amazing Motor.On, great job! I love the detail around/in it, no wonder it took a long time! ;) Great job, I hope to see more! -jeff

WOW! This vignette (Bignette, perhaps?) is truly amazing! It has a lot of detail, such as the ground and inside the German bunkers, and it is also very historically accurate! I would say that you are definitely one of the greatest World War II builders of all time! My ultimately favorite parts of this vignette are definitely the paratroopers storming a German bunker and the beach landings. I think these are the greatest because they are very action packed and full of detail, not to mention full of surprises too. Overall, this is one of the greatest vignettes I have ever scene. Thanks for posting this fantastic creation on the forums. -Chef

I don't play with it per say, but I do pretty much constantly tweak it. Even though it's epically long, it's only 16 studs wide, so there's not all that much playability. I play with my other MOCs, not this one, this one is basically pure display (especially with all the little action poses). As for the classification, it's certainly NOT a vignette (or even a bignette). It's a full-out diorama, and a SHIP. I unfortunately will not be bringing this to brickcon, as I will be in college out-of-state. Perhaps (hopefully) BrickWorld next year. Although finding 8 feet of space would not be fun. Anyways, thanks for the support!

Awesome but I don't think its historically correct 100% Soldiers should be wearing Dark-tan German should be Dark-Gray bunkers where bigger and more up the hill. There where trenches behind the German bunker and beyond that Artillery. but still awesome!
