'Infatuate' Walcheren Island Nov. 1944

[ErGide72]

Hello guys
A small vignette from the Scheld operations and the landings on Walcheren Island, operations 'Infatuate I (landings at Vlissingen (Flushing) and Infatuate II (landings at Westkapelle) and in accordance with the Boy and Girl thing... (infatuated...!?)
Royal commando is a standard Alexander Miniatures figure with a modified Hornet head and the girl with the taditional, regional clothing and Jenever bottle is a slightly modified Masterbox figure. (My grandmother is still wearing this clothing today, she's 99!!!)
Rest is scratch and bleufoam for the wall and the streed cobbles.
All painted in acrylics, except the Lee enfield. Wooden parts done with oils.

A save conduct air drop pamphlet and...

a 'Warning, your territory will be bombed soon....' air drop pamphlet.

The 'new 'Life' magazine

Hope you like it
Regards Erik
