Interesting for a wargame.
Clik in the picture to enlarge.

"The model was built in six weeks by a task force of the U.S. Agency for Geospatial Intelligence (NGA), which provides satellite images for the country's secret services"

Thanks for posting.

Dan
PS. Does it say what scale it is?

Someone else beat you by 5 hours. Why don't you look back at previous posts to see if someone else has already posted the same non-story?

I'm sure Armand didn't mean to inconvenience you Sundance.

Cacique Caribe17 May 2012 12:41 p.m. PST

Hmm. I guess it's a good think I'm taking my meds.

Dan
PS. By the way, Sundance, CorpCommander didn't cross-post his thread to "Terrain and Scenics", which is what I normally check. So this one is news to me.

@Sundance,
No.

@Armand,
Thanks! Missed the first post.

It's not a race Mr. Sundance.
Only chance.
I always tried to see if another fellow member post what I want to put in here.
Sometimes I failed.
Not a big deal I guess?

Thanks Armand. I appreciate your posts.

This has happened several times. You obviously don't check very thoroughly. The posts are often on the same message board. Posting about something that someone else has already posted about just makes you look silly.

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP17 May 2012 3:25 p.m. PST

Well, if you consider that I'm silly dear Margard, maybe I'am. (smile).

Moreover, take note that is much more easy to comment about other threads that to post a new one.

Specially easy showing as severe judges.

I recomended you (as when you began to post here, do you remember?) not to read more my threads because obviously that causes you severe discomfort.

not to read more my threads

But if I didn't read your threads, I'd have missed this:

Pictures of this model have been around the internet since just after the raid. I'm surprised that no one has seen it until now.

Rdfraf Supporting Member of TMP17 May 2012 8:46 p.m. PST

First time I've seen it. Thanks for bringing to our attention.

Kaoschallenged17 May 2012 11:39 p.m. PST

Of course its new. Its the "Ben" Laden "village" diorama wink
laugh. And its his Villa not "village". Robert

Cool, and wow…most 99.0 percent of us are nice, polite, and you know respectful of others, …but there is always that small group of 1%'ers

What surprises me is that it took six weeks for professionals to build. I guess most of that six weeks was spent confirming measurements by different sources and just a short period actually building it – if not they should engage some of the modellers on this forum. A sixth of the time and probably 1/100th of the budget!

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP20 May 2012 12:43 p.m. PST

It's happened in the best families my friend darclegion!.
