Had some computer problems so I wasn't able to post this until today. On 24 May I was looking at some of my many Bravo 6 figures and realized that I had a bunch of Marine figures just begging to be built. I then got an idea for a quick vignette that I might actually get completed in time for the show I will be attending next week. I did not want to use the figures the way they were originally posed on the box as I like to include a personal touch by changing the poses and heads to reflect the story I am trying to portray. I had to find a structure the Marines are using for a bit of cover, although they are a block or two away from the main fighting, and I found it in a part from the Callsign Miniatures Hue City set. Since this is a scene featuring Marines, this will be for the USMC ribbon.
Here is what my first thoughts were. A wounded Marine is being encouraged by his buddy and a Corpsman is being called forward to help getting the guy patched up. The standing Marine would be providing covering fire. These are the figures and heads that I am going to use for this scene.
However, after working the idea for a while, I came up with this: A wounded Marine was pulled back to some cover, one buddy who is kneeling by his side as well as one who is standing are calling for a Corpsman. It was at this stage that I decided on the structure that would be present in the scene...in this case a damaged wall.
Then I needed to choose some arms.
Better views of the three figures.
