Somewhere on the Eastern Front a German soldier is eating some chow in the street while a dog sits in front of him and begs... while the dog's master, a Russian Partisan, sets up for the kill from the windows of a destroyed building. The partisan uses the dog to watch out for Germans, but a hungry dog is a hungry dog. He hears the dog bark and decides to take out the target of opportunity.

Howdy 2-2dragoon,
Sounds great. you could even have the Jerry toss the dog something to eat while the Russian trains his rifle to make it even more ironical!
The arms of one of the older Tamiya figure set come to mind, where a German is cutting a slice of sausage!
I'm curious how things will work out!

What a mean idea ! "... but a hungry dog is a hungry dog " - I love it ! #:-)

If that's for the diorama contest, I count one soul too many :
man = ok
man + dog(s) = ok
man + man + dog = too much !
(see contest guidelines).

I'm gonna do it anyway... even if I can't win... maybe there could be a separate category...? I have this in my head and want to do it, in fact have most of the figure work done, including a blanket over the German soldier's shoulders and his head cut off... I have warriors head for him. I have to relocate the dog now...
