<\/a>This is the view the US soldiers would have had at the eastern end of Omaha Beach
at Colleville-sur-Mer.<\/p>\n

I ‘m making progress \u00a0Keith Rocco’s diorama. This diorama is also situated at Colleville-sur-Mer like my 75mm diorama, but this one focuses on the beach landing in 1\/100th scale. The overall diorama will be 5.5 feet wide by 6 feet deep. The ground scale is about 1\/500, while the vertical scale in slightly exaggerated at 1\/393. \u00a0The models in the \u00a0foreground will be 1\/100th scale. There are a few structures on the land side. They might be a smaller than 1\/100th scale to better match the ground scale. It will depend on how it looks when we start mocking up that part.<\/p>\n
