The scene is of an American Tank crew trying to improve their chances of survival, during the second world war. One team begins to fill their sandbag, after the tank commander finishes his and hands the shovel to them(most tanks only had one shovel). One crewman walks to wards the tank to hand his bag to the loader(generally the healthiest) to toss onto the tank.

Nice work... very unique idea of diomara filling up sand bags for the tank. Yes I like it!  Be sure to take closer pictures of your work as it was difficult looking at your work as there is alot of blank space surrounding your diomara.

Deafpanzer Thanks for the ideas/suggestions. I'll work on getting closer shoots tried a few with this one came out to fuzzy. Can't believe I left out the part about 90% to 95% of this being made out of recycled sprue, the only parts not sculpted are the shrub and the tanks road wheels, everything else I made by melting bits of sprue.

Melted sprue!  Now that IS amazing!  How do you melt the sprue? Chemically? or heat?  BTW Nice subject....though Gen Patton never liked his crews to add extra protection!

I melt the spure with heat. Your right about Patton as a matter  of fact  the orignal idea was too have the tank commander aside with Patton chewing him out the Title would have been "someone's about to loose his stripes" maybe next time.
