1/48th US WW2 Tankers

[captfue]

Hello all here are some photos of a wedgie I completed today. It shows one off the less glamours sides of being a tanker. The work is about 90% to 95% done from recycled sprue, the tree and the tank's wheels and bogie truck are the only pieces not sculpted by hand.

The scene is of an American Tank crew trying to improve their chances of survival, during the second world war. One team begins to fill their sandbag, after the tank commander finishes his and hands the shovel to them(most tanks only had one shovel). One crewman walks to wards the tank to hand his bag to the loader(generally the healthiest) to toss onto the tank.

Great bit of work mate and you managed to get five figures onto the scene and they all interact really well, i like the idea behind this one and great bit of sculpting on such a small scale and using sprue.

good to see more of your work Anthony,

All the best to you and your family mate,

Steve
