What a beautiful little display!

I don't think it's lost on anyone that you do intensive research.

[John Rosengrant]

Thanks Nap ! Thanks Joe.Thanks on that research comment btw, it's true I probably spend an inordinate amount of time researching ,trying to immerse myself into the situation. The title comes from a Iwo Tanker and his name for the Sherman tank.... being cooped up for hours , the smell of cordite ,human smells and unsuccessful attempts in combat to rid the tank of human waste ....well don't need to get into any more details, suffice to say it wasn't a pleasant experience.This depicts a rare moment on Iwo (photo documented) of being able to get outside the tank (without sniper, shelling of all types) as he-said the " Port-a Potty on wheels".

sorry for the late reply thank you Mobo and Malc

This is one in 75mm Scratch built that was at Chicago. "Surrender at Fort Ticonderoga " 1775 ....all one off's for a collector friend

so the figures are Ethan Allen in the Green Coat, Benedict Arnold in the Blue Coat.....one of the Green Mountain boys in civilian garb to draw you in and of course the British Captain whose been woken up in the night-threw on this trousers ,barefoot and disheveled shirt -of course put on his Red Coat for the sword surrender

Fantastic work and an interesting story. I see Arnold wasn't always a baddie! That's one lucky collector.
