I'm afraid I'm one of those people who feel strongly in the dog's favor. I know how I too would fight for the life of my pet. I was reading on a military site that supposedly, the dogs would be trained to drop the load (no pun intended :p) and race back before the big boom. Of course, it rarely worked out that way and the dog would be killed along with the tank. 

I do however, like the figures and from what I can see, they look nicely made. I too would really love to see in progress pictures.

I've read about a zillion notes in these forums over the years, and have been consistently impressed by one thing:  the spirit of honoring the subjects that is universal. among the modelers.  If a dio of the Light Brigade is acceptable because it honors human character, who could anyone see anything different in a dio of war dogs?  Some folks spend 'way too much time looking for something to bellyache about.

Similar subject:  In 1862 - during the War of Northern Aggression - Federal soldiers tried to send several mules into the Confederate camp below Val Verde ford, on the Rio Grande.  The mules were loaded with 12 pdr howitzer shells.  The fuses were lit and the mules shooed toward the Rebs.  The mules, being smarter than expected, realized those Rebs were about ready to start eating mules!  They turned around and started following the Yanks back to home and oats.  It turned into a quite a footrace - until the shells went off.

Today I had finished the base coat of flesh and Vallejo Khaki for the uniforms. I tried Polly Scale Brown Drab PC-10 (a RFC WWI color) for the steel pots as a base color but it is bit too light for what I want. More pics will be posted as progress is made. There is quite a bit to go here.

They're looking great so far.

Wow, I did not realize that this had been stalled for nearly two years. I started doing the final work on these in recent weeks and they are now almost finished.

Only this pic of this pair came out good

My favorite pose of the set

and the non action pose

I still want to make the handlers faces a little more scruffy and touch up the dogs a bit.

Here are a few more shots of how they look now...

Any suggstions or feedback?

Hey SP, those are pretty cool! Reminds me I started a post on some ROK figures over two years ago myself and they're still sitting under the workbench

I know how you feel. I have several figure sets that stalled in painting when I moved last summer. Still trying to get caught up on my backlog...
