The Normandy campaign involved soldiers, sailors, vehicles, civilians and Resistance networks working amid intense fighting. The liberation of towns and villages produced moments of both danger and public celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding Firing' with Sand base is defined in part by its standing position. That gives the figure a specific purpose when combined with soldiers in complementary poses, helping create a formation with natural variety and a clear direction of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weapon-related action captures a specific second in an engagement. It invites the viewer to imagine the position of an unseen target and the response of the surrounding troops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on a Normandy beach, inland village or liberation scene, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance. Even modest scenery can add depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngle the figure toward a common point of interest and use more stationary troops to balance the movement. A coherent line of fire can make an otherwise compact scene feel complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollectors can build outward from this piece with Allied soldiers, civilians, landing craft and wartime vehicles, letting each addition contribute a different aspect of the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece also invites an appreciation of the movement from invasion through fighting to liberation. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419462197530,"sku":"DD354(B)","price":76.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/DD354_B.jpg?v=1794303802","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/dd354b","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
