WIP Dunkirk "vignettorama"

[PLG]

Ok, I made the word up but it fits with this project, which is to build a series of six small vignettes, each with only 3 figures, which will depict different aspects of the 'dunkirk story. The plan is for the 6 to be:

rearguard
in the dunes
boarding a "little ship"
disembarking in Dover
aboard a train inland
aftermath - two british pow's and a German guarding them.

I have started work on the first two, here are a couple of in=progress photos of the bases:

A long way to go an this will be a long-term project, no rush.

Looking forward to that. I take it that the soldier(s) will have waded/swam to the Little Ship, and are climbing/helped on board, so more of a setting in the surf, rather than deep water?

I would consider cutting the boat hull and figures in the water down, and only model a thin layer of water.
