I saw this on Squadron’s website (http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=dr75023) :
That mortarman is in for a real surprise.
The picture just made me chuckle.

LMAO…
Ja… He’s likely to lose his head over his job…
AHHHH! One of the reasons why the Germans lost the war…
Ah, now you know why the Figure is not included… [;)]

Maybe the sculptor was inspired by this photo of a GI (I won’t name him, but he’s pretty well known) in Vietnam…
Hey, I know that guy! Didn’t he invent the Internet?
LOL! Must have been a cold day there… Field Jacket and a wet weather jacket over his jungle fatigues…[*-)]
Skitpusher,
Yep, it was when the global warming concept first came to his mind… you didn’t know?

I take it the guy in the background equally as stupid & there in the event that there is a misfire - so he can ram it home just to be sure!
(Figure in front) Now let me see, I put this into the tube…
(Figure in back) Yep, then move aside and I will ram the round into position!!! [:O]
I am sure when Kevin (Minimortar) sees this, he will bust a gut…[:D]
What we really need is Manny’s explanation [^o)]
LMAO
Rounds Complete!!
Das ist KAPUT!
This is his way of checking for ‘slop’ as he is holding what appears to be a 5cm round over what is in actually an 8cm tube.

Kneeling Guy: “I’m just going to drop this round in, but where the hell is the trigger on this thing?”
Faded Guy: “not sure, but why is the head on this broom so bloody small?”
At least M16-Guy has no clip in.
Maybe the kneeling German is using an 8cm round to hammer a 12cm round into a 10cm tube?
And there may be a muzzle cap on that weapon… if so, he is twice as safe. [8-)] No smoke coming out of that end anyway.

SKITPUSHER ???
Now it’s twice as funny!
