The dog is called an Alsatian in Cornelius Ryan's book Not to mention that there are seveal variants of german shepherds such as the Belgian malanois, which is what I worked with a LOT. In my book, it's still a german shepherd, but slightly smaller and a shorter coat.
Major Pluskat had the German Shepherd in the movie. That dog had the good sense to leave the bunker just before the pre landing bombardment
Thanks,
John
Thanks Bill. The figure matches the movie scene quite well enough. Capt Maud actually had an Alsatian with him on the beach, not an English Bulldog. But why not?
That's really cool. I think Maud had a few stone on this guy, but it sure looks good.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I finished this one up at the beginning of this week and now have some halfway decent photos. It is a vignette by Scale Model Accessories in 1/35 resin from the movie The Longest Day of the Sword Beach Royal Navy Beachmaster, Capt. Colin Maud, played by actor Kenneth More... and his bulldog Winston.
I tried a technique using highly thinned layers on Vallejo acrylics to paint him, that was for more time consuming than I thought that it would be. It worked well on the uniform, but not as well on the flesh areas.
