What a great idea! Soldiers are always dealing on the chicks!

Cool. I like the pose of the figure. Never seen that pose before. Is that resin?

the guitarist and lady are a bit glossy.
Besides that nothing in sight, the figures are well painted and bren carrier looks very good, and the idea is quite original

congrats

The two figures in the tank are from the same box. The guy on the guitar is one of those crappy figures from Italeri's howitzer kit. I just replaced the head with an Asian head, spare helmets from the box and replaced the arms with the many spares I had. The guitar is made from styrene sheets. The lady is from DML's Vietcong set, the upper torso at least and the bottom half or the skirt portion is from the lady in Italeri's Russian 101mm howitzer set. Body part operations.

I'm too cheap to blow $8 for a single resin figure.

Yeah, the glossy parts suck. I took the pick just half an hour after I sprayed them with dullcoat.

Instead of clothes drying, perhaps a rug hanging over a post, awaiting a thorough beating (to de-dust), a common chore everywhere in the age before electric vacuum cleaners became popular. The fair dulcinea looks as if either A.) the soldier is a refreshing break from the daily routine, or B.) a new annoyance that interrupts the daily routine.

That's an interesting build, simple yet attractive! :-) Nice to play with animals in dios always, and good job on your figures and the carrier too
