Operation Market Garden - a 100ft model in 1:72 scale
This 1:72 scale model of Operation Market Garden has been built over more than two decades. The 80th anniversary of this significant period in the Second World War, felt the right time to share it with those who enjoy both model making and the history of the period portrayed.
The model clearly isn't finished, it may never be. It's also not built to scale and there's a lot of artistic licence in the layout in order to be able to represent key locations and landmarks. It starts in Neerpelt, Belgium, moving through to Holland, ending in Wolfheze, on a 100ft rectangular table, but we hope you enjoy this video of it.

This is amazing. I’d love to see it in person. It would be perfect displayed publicly at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum.

Absolutely great diorama the sheer scale it is as good as the IWM dioramas in London it's so interesting you could look at this again and again and see something new thank you for sharing 👍

By Gosh, is that private?
Wow, very impressive! How many tanks, buildings and figures are there? Is this viewable somewhere? This might be the worlds largest miniature diorama!!!
As a dutchmen i love this woow. Is it visable for public?
We never hear about these women but at least it was as not bad as what they have to suffer in America and Brimingham had respect for them not like America 🖕
The uniform you are wearing is a number one dress but you are not showing the real dress which was a number 2 and was very uncomfabele to wear as it was wool like the mens number 2 which i had to wear when i joined the RAF back in 1971 and used to wear long johns 😒as they made you itch so much.
BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO, I take my beret off too you . Well done that man 🫡🏴👌
how many people have worked on this diorama and where is it?
Probably the best WW2 diorama i have seen love it

My father was a B17 turit gunner, 306th Heavy bombardment fighter wing, 2 campaigns, PFC Toribio Sandoval Diaz, from Fredericksburg, Texas,am his son,usmc veteran, 2tours, 4th Marines, from Texas,God Bless every veteran.
SHOEE! I be flabbergasted, ME.
Need a far bigger table!!! What I love is how well represented the scale of the effort was. The number of vehicles, troops, artillery, bridge laying, air defence, and field hospitals, to make an army group. What a fantastic effort. Thank you for sharing.
Wow!

A great diorama I can see why it took so long to build .Thanks for sharing

Wow fabulous displays, sorry I missed this but was at Harborough at War all weekend displaying ATS with NHG & LHG, are you likely to be doing this again next year? Thanks
Thank you, I hope Harborough at War went well. We are certainly planning to do a women's focussed event each year after the success of this pilot, but it's likely we will pick a new location each time to maximise the audience we reach and connect with new people. I'd be very happy to share more information on that with you as and when we have it.
Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from NC, USA. Americans and Brits, we are brothers and sisters!!!
