Took a quick snap to check for boo boos. Last additions were the chest eagle, press studs,pocket zippers with leather pull tabs and generous slopping of various paints. Around back I sculpted the flare pistol holder.

I think the work on that head is some of your better work! The hair and beard stubble, along with the expression are very good! The opened pockets also help tell the story nicely!

I must agree with @SamS here- this is superb work Jerry! The pose along with the arm in the sling, the bits of blood and that haunted, exhausted look on his face just works so well.

Yep just look at this…
Can’t get much better than that, close to perfect. Except…I keep looking at his wounded arm, I’d suggest that wrist needs shortening by 1 or 2 mm…? Eye of the beholder.

Yes!! The B&W looks wonderful. Thanks man. I think you are correct about the wrist but too late now,

OK I understand, I’ve got a few hundred I look at too late. We’ve talked before how photos are so frickin’ unforgiving. Whatever, I think the mono really sings, bravo.
So finally another master piece from you Jerry. Haven’t seen for quite some anything (which can be my own lack of attentiveness), but this one seem to be going in the way of former masterful works
He needs a Urlaub.
@Diomartin-yep so true man. The boo boos become cringeworthy when expanded on screen.
@Armournovice-thanks for the very generous comment sir.
@Dan-prolly so.
Ok here is the next actor in the scene. I took inspiration from a pic of 6 Para Regt POWs taken by GIs in the Cotentin. The 6 Para were issued with cargo nets prior to the deployment and the pics showed that. This is a Hornet head on a modified Dragon guy with a smock made from putty..
Which view do you think is the best ?

Nice! The first photo with the front on view looks best to me.

Thanks for your input Sam,

Yes I agree, although the pic from the side is also greatly done. Set against your background scenery these just really capture the vibe (no pun intended) of both sentiments: being injured and surrendering. Nothing quite like pain and humiliation, and your latest addition convey this nicely.

Thanks Dave for the kind and well thought out comments. Hopefully more of that feeling will appear when I put all these players together in the one scene.

Well, Jerry at least knows that, even though I have just got around to dropping in here, I have been following these figures on a well-known social media site.
These are among the best - and saddest - figures that you have ever delivered!

Exactly. There was no mnemonic in WWII.
It seems to have become more formalized during the Korean conflict.
FM 19-40 (Enemy Prisoners of War, Civilian Internees, and Detained Persons) Was first issued in 1952.
I learned it in FM 7-8, along with most things worth learning back then.

I have another player in the vignette wrapped up.
Altered Dragon fig with an Arto head and helmet. Hornet hands and LiveResin Garand.
Thanks for looking.

The expressions on the faces you’re doing here are just excellent! This one is spot on! The texture on the helmet is great and the Garand is nicely finished! Great work as always J!
