The Battle of Cherbourg in LEGO

Immediately after the start of the Normandy invasion on D-Day, Allied forces began a battle for the strategic port city of Cherbourg that lasted more than three weeks. My diorama highlights the aftermath of the battle, when townspeople begin emerging from the rubble, while Free French partisans hoist the Tricolour above their safe house.

The diorama features an updated version of my M4 Sherman tank:

    Wow nice work. The ruins were great with the bullet holes. But they were out classed by the tank.
