You guessed right, the sauna is hot and ready for some serious bathing!
Today I finished the figures and equipment. There was supposed to be a piece of log for making firewood but I kind of ran out of space and didn´t want to put too much stuff in there. I´ll have better pictures in daylight soon, but here´s some taste of the final composition...
More pics in Envar Dioramas!

Greetings Toni, Great job. I really like the subject. The figures are very effective with the look of sweat on their bodies. The entire composition is art! Bravo! Scott

"The Main Thing is to Have a Good Time"

Just one word: Jealous #:-) #:-)

Great Job! #:-) It´s incredible, and I´m curious to know how did you make the tree, it´s perfect

Wonderfully put together Toni! I simply love it's theme! :-)

Great Job Toni,so what is the theme here they get all sweaty and run and jump into some COLD water and cool off? I hope you have a shower around for them as I know that first guy is getting ready to hit one how do I know he told me

Awesome Envar!!!!
Whats the next project?

Answer is no and that´s the point. These guys actually performed this little happening middle of a training camp, day four I recall. There was no shower available in next three days...The weather was besides +26C, the warmest it gets in the summer in Finland.
These guys "volunteered" to sleep outside the following nights. A few other guys joined them, though as it was still way beyond +45C in the tent in the evening...





The next project will be related to this, showing the 122H63 howitzer in position "meanwhile...". The guy standing in guard by the gun starts getting coordinates for shooting...
He is yelling to the guys at the tent to stop all other activities and get their a*ses down there pronto!
I´m still not quite sure if I should keep the massive cockade in the base, but I thought it would help to link these two dios if the next one carried one too...

Thanks for the comments guys, I´m planning to take some jaw-dropping hi-quality pics today when I get home. Maybe write an article as well as there have been some questions about the technical stuff...



Toni

Ok some pics updated!
I also sent an article to Jim so we may see the pics with text as well in the near future!
The new pics, however, are online in pages 4 and 5 in Envar Dioramas! in case you want to spoil your appetite before the article...






Toni

hi envar! excellent looking dio you got there! everythings great! i really like the way you did the tree looking forward in seeing more of your work!

I wonder why they have to sleep outside I would make them sleep outside also

Because of the smell. They were sweatty and dirty to begin with but the sauna took it beyond all imagination. #:-)
