Tamiya US command group - part 2

Here is the completed command group - based for convenience as a single stand.
I applied a light black wash to tone down the green a bit.
All have been given the by now customary mad staring eyes.  But hang on, wasn't there a fourth man in the set?
Ah yes, there he is in the background.  LCW command groups have 3 figures so I based him separately.
The map and manuals on the table are images found on the interweb, suitably scaled down!

    Am I the only one that thinks the one figure based separately looks rather sad?

    Great wee TEWT scene Tim.

    The sad thing is that I want a set now!

    I gather he is marked out for higher command, so the other guys aren't speaking to him...

    Temptation. It's a terrible thing.

    It all makes sense now. Jealousy is also a terrible thing ;)

    Word is that he'll be a full Colonel by Autumn. Or should that be Fall?

    They say pride comes before a Fall ;) Maybe that's why the others aren't speaking to him.

    Am I the only one who thinks they're mincing about like a bunch of extras for the Village People?? :o)

    Nice command stand Tim.

    What's the saying about officers and maps...?

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Interestingly Roco did an identical scaled down set in 1/87th.

    They seem to have done the same with the Tamiya British gun crew.

    "More armament factories and fewer elephants next time, Blackadder". Excellent map, Tim! I'm sure that I can make out "bushy top tree" on there.

    Regards, Chris

    Nice command stand. The detail of the papers on the desk is a nice touch.

    I wondered why the command post was set up in the YMCA....

    How interesting! I think I have an old ROCO catalogue - I must have a look.

    I'm not sure the map would be much help for navigation.
