Yoiks! Wow! What's the range on that! It was cross channel in WWII (23+ miles), at 1:144 at least, I could play from Leighton Buzzard to Milton Keynes! I could wargame from home, just have the lads call the shots in!

These are some of the best ones I've seen yet, amazing!   

How many dio's have been done so far JF?

Hi Leon

I gave up counting when I hit fifty dios. 

It is worth visiting the Carlos Briz home, the paradise for 10/12mm minis lovers .

Glider - GRAMODELS
Figures and Vehicles- Pendraken
Here you have another glider, this time a flying monster that had a transport capacity of about 7 tons!

This piece of hardware allowed for the deployment of transports, light artillery and light tanks, giving more "punch" to airborne troops.

Those are both superb, love the wrecked train in the last one, is it a new theme, "wreck, trains and planes..."

[jfariahitech]

This new dio represents an airborne assault on a Japanese airfield in Burma, late in the war.

The Horsa was another heavy duty cargo glider used in air assault operations, with the purpose of providing the airborne troops with the supplies and hardware necessary to "hold until relieved!" (whenever that could be...)

Nice!

Has Carlos ever done any 'In Progress' pics as he works on any of these?  That would be really interesting to see.
