Embarrassing Moments In The Early Mornin Dew, Carentan, June 1944

[Steve Ski]

120mm Airborne Resin Figures Sculpted by Maurice Corry, offered by Mitches Military Models, Freedom Model Kits 1/16th German Sd.kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad Typ HK 101.

Resin figures painted in oils over an acrylic base. Scratch built outhouse and fencing with standard ground work applied over blue construction foam.

Bob was not expecting guests this fine June morning when he made a quick stop to take care of business. Freddie and Billy, however, were pretty giddy when they found a prize souvenir and plenty of chow and booze in the back of the track-bike. Sgt. Hank kept Bob under guard while the booty was tallied. Poor Bob!

This was a really fun build with a great set of figures and some good old scratch work as well. This is by far the quickest I have ever produced a Large-Scale figure diorama, just under six months.

All comments welcome. Cheers, Ski.

I say this with all due respect...but the inside of that outhouse is a little TOO realistic... I can almost smell it

Nicely done!

Thanks, Nigel. I did have a lot of fun with this one. After a lot of consideration this was the only way to use all four figures in one scenario, with a little humor too, of course.

That turned out really nice, Ski. I hope that German hovered over the seat when he was going because it looks like someone wasn't very careful prior to him.

Details are amazing.

Cheers,
James

Ya, I didn't want to overdo it, but it still had to be effective, lol. Thanks, James.

Well worth the wait to see the finished result of this one Ski, you have created a great looking scene with all the elements involved, excellent job all round.
Looks like Bob could benefit from some more potty training from his mother.
Cheers
