[COR-FB] Playing Soldier

"Playing Soldier"

Children of Port Woodhouse march along the beach, pretending to be proud soldiers of Corrington.

Spoiler

OOC: When I first put the child figs together they didn't look quite kid-like enough so I figured I could force them to look smaller by making the landscape bigger! Hence the oversized base

If you make soldiers with kids, you will have some troubles with the doctor

They are just pretending  

Corrington frowns upon child soldiers - you have to be at least 17 to join up! Unless you are a drummer boy and then you can be 13

I like the 3 colored leaves of the palm trees. The landscape is perfectly built. It looks funny how the children are playing soldiers.

Love the olive and lime combo!  And it was a really good call to go bigger so the children would look little.  The dogs help too.  Looks like they're having a lot of fun, too bad those legs don't move for a more natural pose!

Good call. It works!

Great base plate and kid's "parade"! Ofc everybody knows these days kid's shouldn't play soldiers but let's give them at least some fighting spirit!

Works well - especially since you left the base relatively sparse - it definitely emphasises the fact they are children.

A lovely concept. Well done!
