'LITTLE SOLDIERS' DUNKIRK DIO WITH A TWIST. UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UPDATES PAGE 2/3/4/5.

UPDATE.

I have added some rungs down the side of the jetty, made from staples, painted then light rust added. Figures painted and placed, tin hat on little lad, the other lad has a slightly misshapen head, he should have a cap on but is going to have a French Adrian helmet when it arrives.

Still loads to do, some darker rust to add, more abandoned weapons, tin hats etc...that's before I even start on the water.

Looking good Si. The staples make good rungs

Thanks Joe, I wanted to make a rung ladder but was pondering over what to do. Was going to make some out of wire but then the staples seemed to be a perfect way.

Some more details added, more helmets, lewis gun and a cape, also added two wooden planks and a dried bloody bandage...not sure about that one.

I cannot take credit for them as my wife painted the figures, my hands are shaking too much, but I managed to do the rest.

Oh right well tell her she's done a great job and she's got some skill

Will do mate, it sounds daft but I managed to do the rest okay but as soon as I got the figures I knew I would be trouble, just cramped up and started to shake. They would only have to be redone so I asked her if she wouldn't mind. She is terrific and does an excellent job.

Looks good Si. I think the dried bandage adds to the desperation of the scene.

Nice one, was going to remove it but I think, now and again, the horror of war should be shown, even if only a little bit, people did get killed and injured. Glad you think this is coming along nicely Joe, appreciate your comments.

This is looking really good Si.....

I know this little gem is not completed yet and you could well be going to do it, and....I hope you don't mind the input, but......

As you have mega damage to the end of the 'Mole' can I suggest a mass of concrete lumps of various sizes on the floor? Perhaps even having one of the boys standing on the top. Might add a bit more to the feeling of 'What now?'

The more 'junk' and debris you put in, the better this feeling might be put across.

Ron, I not be Alan lol...

You are thinking along my lines, me and Alan was discussing the use of debris a while ago...think you could be right Ron a few bits may just help it along.

Another little update: The Adrian pattern helmets are on, the kit bag in the corner, old rust added and the whole lot has had a coat of matt varnish to seal and tone down.
