Today I visited the massive Chunuk Bair diorama at The Great War Exhibition In Wellington for the first time since I had last seen it a week before it had opened to the public. Having been involved with the diorama from the beginning of the project, I knew what to expect – or at least I thought I did. But I was as flabbergasted as if it was my first time. I've posted photos of today's visit onto the diorama's official 'Mustering The Troops' blog, which will give you an impression of what the setting of the diorama is like: link Some sample pics from the above blog:

Thank you for sharing this. I would dearly like to see this exhibit in person, but living in Texas, it isn't likely. |

OMG ! It's amazing.
Love how the terrain flows around the columns and viewing area. Is there a 'map' showing which troops are on the diorama ? |

That is really something. |

Camcleod, I hope Arteis02 does not mind me answering. There are descriptions of the action mounted on the glass walls to tell you were the action is happening. I walked around once looking at the figures and then went back and read the information. |

Warwick Young, a former TMPer was also involved in the painting. I can't find the news article that included him. Wyatt |
