darn...

those holes are awful close to each other...

I think some knees might touch...hahaha...

too close for me...

I would struggle on there...

You got to love this forum, even something as humble as a scratch built bog copes some sort of criticism :rolleyes2:{sm4} it was based on photos of real WW1 bogs and the last thing the blokes using them were worried about was the closeness of the holes.{sm3}

The only thing I can see from this diorama are splinters and more splinters. Unusual subject Chris.

It is not actually a stand alone diorama of a toilet as such. It is a large diorama made up of many, many small vignettes covering a wide range of activities that were played out hundreds of thousands of times on the Western Front every day of the war. Bob described it with his usual insight as numerous small dioramas within one large diorama. The toilet, or 'bog' as Wayne described it with his trademark Shakespearean elegance, is part of a much larger 'instant in time'. It takes its place comfortably and realistically within the broader narrative. Well done to Wayne for being able to source a picture and then just create one with the minimum of fuss. As a point of interest it does raise the issue of our sensitivities; I discussed, without any concern, the issue of using figures - and parts of figures - to represent the dead and destroyed. In contrast, the toilet figures (which in other ranges I have always had mixed feelings about) were something I consciously thought about in terms of appropriateness.
