"Death in the Courtyard" *finished, more pics, page 15*

Something a little diffferent from me...decided to use Miniart's wagon as the centerpiece of this small dio (instead of a vehicle)...US soldiers enter a small farm courtyard somewhere in Italy or France after a short but sharp firefight with German infantry...the platoon Sergeant peers around the corner of the wagon as the platoon leader calls a halt to his unit's advance until the he can asess the situation at the front...What you can't see yet is that there will be a German SS casualty lying in the open courtyard (nice Warrior fig)...this fig should add realism and drama to the scene and is a pretty graphic dead guy figgie...Most of the elements have been placed on the base...need some feedback...the dead German will be approx. where the X-acto blade container w/ the red top is at...Tamiya US infantry Assault set and VLS and Custom Dioramics scenery...
