June 2, 1944. Still unaware of the forthcoming major allied invasion, members of an armored infantry unit stationed somewhere in Normandy found an interesting way to beat the rather boring and lazy June afternoon. It was fun…until of course a killjoy officer noticed.

Note: No animals were harmed in the making of this dio.
That may be so … but were any humans … that’s one mean looking hog you created there !!! [:0][:0][:0]
Nice work Dwight … your title lured me over here. [dinner][dinner][dinner]
LOL. Sorry Sherm, I guess the animal rights activists will gang up on me if I show a roasted pig in my dio.
BTW, aside from minor bruises, I think no German soldiers were hurt either. He-he-he.
Thanks.
Nice work,Dwight.l You score again, man[:D][:D][:D]
Ham and eggs anyone???[C=:-)][dinner]
Nice dio Dwight…!! Not often you see this side of the war.
Flaps up,Mike
MMMMMMMMM Porkchops! Nice work Dwight!
As always Dwight great job. You sure are putting these dios together quick.
Thanks guys.
Historyinscale/Keyworth: More than bacons and eggs, we make a really delicious roasted pig here in the Philippines which we call lechon.
Butz: Well, I though even soldiers need some time off. LOL.
Chris: These mini dios are fun to build you know. And really simple, too.
Just glad to cause a smile.
Nice dio Dwight. Always some officer spoiling the fun of the enlisted. Reminds me of a dio I saw about 15 years ago. A couple of American GI’s were chasing a turkey around a burned out house. I wish I had the imagination to make something like that.
Thanks Berny. Actually I was too lazy to touch all the other kits I am working on right now. This idea just popped into my head.
LOL I like it but the pig don’t look too happy!
Nice work Dwight. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Derek: Glad you like it. Thanks. Anyway I think the pig will not go down without a fight. LOL.
Mark: You are welcome. Just happy to share the pics.
I love that, it reminds me of the field.
Sleeping in your sleeping bag and waking up to a worthog sniffing your fart sack, I just layed back down and wished the pig go away then eventually fell asleep again.
BTW the worthogs can get rather large here, and the tusks…
and this one time when we were trainning in hohenfelsthere was a pack of worthogs running around in the madeup wire tent city, it was crazy, they would just walk around like they were one of us. The mess sgt had his hands full, he wa always chasing them off, the one day he had enough after they raided a few garbage cans and was chasing them around in he mud with a wooden spoon, I was laughing my arse off!
LOL. Love that story Redleg. I can only imagine how funny it would look like. Thanks for the laugh.
[(-D] wat a nice dio, bilib ako sayo pare ang galing talaga ng imagination mo
Sweet! (well, not for the pig!)
DT:
‘it looked like the boys would be havin’ pork chops tonite… until the killjoy decided the prisoner should b sent 2 the rear echelon 4 “grilling” (i’m not really sure he meant “interrogation” by that, either)…’
(excerpted from the journal of erich schmidt, wehrmacht foot soldier, June 3rd,1944)
LOL!
another good one, and just in time 4 thanksgiving !!!

Firstly, that’s really imaginative work, Dwight! A caption should go on the base to help describe it! Do the other two know that their “buddy” is snitching on them? [:D]
Oh, man!!! Lechon!! And it’s nearly Christmas too! you ever taste the lecon from Cebu that’s stuffed with lemongrass or pandan or something? It’s so good, you don’t even need to break out the sauce! man, i’m getting hungry… shelve the turkey and bring on the pig!!! [:D]
Thats actually really good. what you never find out though is that they later killed and ate the pig, and the No pigs were harmed thing was just a cover story. Its a very very good dio.
