In order to make this diorama, Jean-Claude Baudier took down the measurements of the pits in full-size, on location, and then drew plans to work from on a 1:43 scale.
He designed the entire scenography.

 For more details about the making of this diorama, you can look at the article published in 1996 in Auto modélisme magazine (only available in French).
