always remembered a Three Stooges Episode where they ate soap, never forgot it (I'm pretty sure Moe mistook a slice of soap as cheese)

(I also remember a movie where people are so hungry that they eat soap because it was made from animal fat, but it could be just child memories)

The ladybird was just neat looking :) (5 years and 2815 days ago)

1. Prepared all the images i used by cutting out only the parts i need.
2. Created the a semi realistic explosion using a Tutvid tutorial as a guide line (source url 4).
3. Arranged all the elements in there end size and position.
4. Added shadows and motion bluer to the platoon and the explosion victims by using copies of the layers.
5. Used adjustment layers (Hue/Saturation, Levels, Exposure) to blend the segments together.
6. Added Orange - transparent - orange & rendered some clouds ( all to about 18-25% opacity) to make the image look a bit more realistic.

Thank you all at sxc.hu for providing grate stock images

Edit: Added SBS Guide. Hope you like it.

Edit2: Decided to redo explosion
