Invasion of Southern France

This vignette was inspired by reading about the US paratroopers in the invasion of Southern France, August 1944. The scene depicts an encounter in front of a wine grower's house, where an American paratrooper has captured a german Panzer man as he was possibly looking for water.

The panzer man is Tamiya with a resin head. The paratrooper is a white metal casting by Andrea I think. He is painted to depict the field applied camouflage of green and black over his jump suit and equipment.

The building is scratchbuilt and the ladder and grape crates are lasercut from cardstock. Everything is painted with animators cel paints and acrylics for ceramics.
