Interesting drama, I take it they represent an Alamo scene? What are they and where did you get them?

Yes, they are an Alamo scene, it's a simultaneous death scene, the Texan is getting bayoneted and he is blowing the brains out of the Mexican through the top of his shako. It's a Plastic Underground original based on my request.

Anyone would think Jason works with the dead for a living. Oh, yeah.....
He comes up with some interesting death scenes.

Great piece. I'm sure that bayonet hurt alot worse than the pistol ball. Thanks for posting the picture.

Jason's figures are harcore and not for the faint harted...He gave them the right name (underground ) .
Maybe they should have a R rating .

I guess I should ask where that leaves me as I requested that he sculpt that figure, then again maybe I shouldn't ask.

Not at all, you're choosing to depict a level of realism, and an aspect of combat, that we don't otherwise choose to depict. But focusing on other aspects of war than the fact that people are killed or wounded does not make that fact go away.

I would say that is more then a fair summation of the way I feel about the situation.

People have wars , people die in them and when they do it's often not neat and pretty.

One would hope that depicting scene's of violent and messy deaths would deter people and countries from fighting wars, but much like the death penalty it doesn't seem to be a deterent.

I thought is was interesting and yes war is hell.

The thing that keeps violent and messy deaths from deterring wars is the the people who start them no longer have any expectation of participating in them. Nuclear deterrent worked much better in that regard, except for those that have a death wish.
