Gallow Tree...

[Michel]

Hi...
After a long Time, Dirk and me plan a project together...
A gallow tree in the TYW... to show the Horror of that war!!!!
Here is the Picture...


Now, we have a small Problem...
Did anybody know, which figures we can use to show the hanged People?

wounded soldiers and helpers of these two sets (if you modify them)

Thanks for your answer...!
Maybe, we use also Zombies...

Many years ago, in 1977, Atlantic made a set in their Far-West story series (Set 1014 - Outlaws and Sheriffs), which included a real hanged man!

Sadly it's now discontinued and very difficult to find, as almost all Atlantic's sets are.

Good luck with your project.

Santi.

Zombies, an excellent choice. BB

If I look at the picture there are lot of half naked people.
From the point of modeling maybe this set with five out of six figures is useful.
You can bend the figures and add a bit of tissue in shreds.


(I cut the base from the far right one.)

Beside that,
did you both really think such a ( tree) project show the horror of the war as you mentioned ?

The only people I see with torn clothing are standing front right.

Zombies would be an odd choice as the bodies are fresh. There are at least five figures still to be hanged.

Is this the origins of mass bungee jumping before they realised the ropes are better fastened around the ankles and elasticated?
