The French Salute Part Deux, a great scale diorama, took third place at the IPMS region 12 2008 show and contest on Saturday, May 3rd. Sure to draw the ire from the heros over at S.F. com(ode), The builder has already listed the model on Ebay.


The diorama, in 1/35th scale, depicts a typical scene on the french country side, during the early summer of 1940. It is the sequel to last year's 2nd place winner, "The French Salute". Last year's winning model drew tremendous flak from multiple sources.

Good luck with your new model!

Got a link to the ebay page?

Thanks for your interest... I know I haven't spent alot of time here bangingon the french like I should be... haha... but evidently I'd rather be banging on them on my workbench...

here's the link, if it gives you trouble, just go to ebay and search "french salute".

Thanks!

The Ebay listing

IPooNurBidet, didn't you create the German tank/ stinkie surrendering model that twisted the tAdpole's fly-flicking tongues last year at the same show?

Yes Snail, that would be me. And while it was at a different location, it was also the same show and contest (the IPMS region 12 event)... hahaha... I can't wait until next year... the project is in the planning stages, and I'm hoping this project will pay for it... but if not, oh well... If I get the money I have in the plastic back, I am more than happy... If I get a rise out of those fairies that bashed me last year... even better... haha.. I'm not in this for the money or the fame... just can't stand the french... this is my little "token of appreciation" for their support of our military... especially after the past military help we have tendered their little piece of dirt...

From the Ebay page:

The two french soldiers are from the UE carrier kit with significant modifications to their arms to give them a more natural posture.

That my good man is priceless.

Hey, Ipee. I'm a big fan!

Did you make this one?

Have a K, model builder; your technique is very good. Art is anamorphous. I am sure you are a big fan of Andre Serrano.

HA! Priceless? well do the buy it now thing for part deux, and that will pay for part III... (just a hint... it's subtitle is "why the french aren't in iraq")

Note- This is just a pix of the first one...

IPee, if I'm not mistaken, the one fRog soldier with the napkin over his skippy wrist is serving his Master canopies while the other is offering a stale salmon in lieu of his mother?

Sweet model,but shouldn't the fwenchman be on his knees in front of the german,unzipping his pants?

And deprive you of a week of pissing off the frogs???

I think not.

Do you take requests/suggestions?

A glow in the dark carrier De Gaulle doing circles while surrounded by pirate ships and Greenpeace boats?

Charles De Gaulle himself hiding under his desk in England?

An empty french meadow strewn with dropped french weapons and soiled pants?

Surrender at Dien Bien Phu?

I think you need to up the ante Ipee, WW2 french cowardice is old news. French peace keepers shooting pregnant women in the ivory coast or raping young girls is the new hotness. I sir, have thrown down the gauntlet. do you accept my challenge!?!

And don't forget the ordinary frenchman surrendering his ass on the street to his muslim masters.What a diorama that would make!

Q: What do you call a dead frenchman in a closet?

A: The 1994 Hide and Seek World Champion.

Wow, you have some talent, dude.

Keep it up.

Great diarama, do you do model trains?

Where do you get your 1/35th scale dropped french rifles?

Do those little ones take the punishment like real never fired dropped once french rifles?

Seriously, nice work.

Snail the one with the WHITE FLAG as a wine napkin is pouring the soldier a canteen cup full of wine... The one saluting is holding a WHITE FLAG in one hand, and a warm baguette in the other...

As for the germans, the one not getting his cup filled, is actually reaching back and grabbing his canteen cup for a sip also... (someone asked if he was drawing a gun from a holster)

Sorry lord... letting a frenchman suck your cock was below even the trashiest of germans...

WOW... tough challange... and I thought a Frenchie fucking a goat would be kind of over the top... I'll have to mull it over... haha... but I reckon that would really piss em off... lemme research it a little...

Not really for myself... I have done all of the buildings on my brother's 0-27 layout though, and I have weathered out a few rail cars. Were you looking for something or just curious if I'm a railhead as well???

Absolutely first class. The subservience of the frogs in all its glory. Even the wooden base has a quality finish. This is impressive work with great underplayed humor and one hell of a Fuck France message.

I hope you make plenty. If not, come back here and solicit donations. Count me in..

I would like to second the recommendation of the diorama of france today .. but with a twist. Show one version of the 40's with the french 3 input women getting their infamous bowl cuts and one of modern france today, with the french cowering in fear, clutching thier wives dresses as their cars are burned outside.

I love Model trains...

I didnt know the Germans were using mottled camo for their field uniforms, in 1940.
