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.

Tim:
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?

Russell Phillips said...

Tim:
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....

Here in Forbodia only the Commissar gets a map...

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.

Thanks - I couldn't resist the desk detail.
