I don't know what to say here, after looking to that first picture :?

The one on the left is trying to bring in a great suppositoire into his neighbour, and the one on the right is praying for help from the lord :mrgreen: :lol:

Serious they don't look bad at all, just missing the gun indeed.

Maybe there will be no gun. The second lot of loose figures give it away. They are mostly running about trying to find it. Ones holding his hands to his head in shock while the one next to him is helping the one bottom right, who thinks it´s turned invisible and is feeling about for a wheel or such like. Two of the top ones with binoculars and telescope are scanning the distance to see where it´s run off too. :-)
It´s a great set if all the poses are included. I can think of 100´s of fun dio´s I could make with them. Wonderfull...when do they come out?, soon I hope :-)

Paul;
Your scenario is reminiscent of a famous wartime incident:
(Harry Secombe) first met Spike Milligan in Tunisia. Milligan's artillery battery had a larger calibre artillery piece that was too big for the gun pits that Secombe's unit had used. The rest of Secombe's battery had already moved and he was with the last elements in some tents at the foot of a cliff below their former position. The officers in Milligan's battery had not bothered to enlarge the pits. When Spike's cannon fired its first shell, the recoil drove the gun up out of the pit and over the cliff. Secombe recalled that when the weapon fell outside the tent, he and his mates thought, "My God! They're throwing cannon at us!" A moment later, the flap of his tent opened and Spike poked his head in and said in his 'Eccles' voice, "Has anyone seen a gun?" Secombe replied "What colour?".
Would make an ususual little diorama, although it is not known whether there was a Tompkins present...

The drunk who did the drinking is not the drinker who drunk the drink but the drunkard who drank himself to drink....or something like that. Why is the rum always gone? Oh! that´s why :joker: great fun
