Photo Op - 1/72 diorama

Here is my latest completion. A 1/72 diorama showing some GI's who have come upon a "Karl" Morser heavy mortar and are recording the event for posterity. No exactly a What If, more of a "Maybe it happened". The Morser and it's ammo carrier are Hasegawa. The Deuce & a Half and the 20mm AA Halftrack are also Hasegawa. The 2 M3 halftracks are Italeri. The Jeep and Kubelwagen are Academy. The figures are from a variety of sources and many have been modified to more appropriate poses. The Kubelwagen and Halftrack have been shot and the Kublewagen crashed into a tree. The Halftrack ended up in the ditch.
Overall shot:

Some more shots.
The cameraman. The camera and tripod are scratchbuilt from styrene strip and sheet.

Nicely done, Ed! It's great to see you posting again!
If you used a nickel instead of a penny, would that mean the cameraman was making film for a nickelodeon?
I'll get me coat...

The GI standing on the Thor, just below and left of the Thor stencil, in Hamlet pose (sans skull)? Caption: "Thor be, or not Thor be, that is the question."

Ed,
At first I thought the rocky wall and the small plants in the background were part of the diorama. Did you paint the figures as well? Their proportions are a little off but the painting is excellent.

Cool models and diorama
Fine work :)
Yes - B&W picture from camera man and B&W of ones shown likely add to WW2 flavor.
