Kalimat al-Mutafalsif

I heard about a peep diorama contest and figured I'd enter thinking that I haven't had an outlet for my creativity besides code since graduating. I spent all weekend pondering what to do, and finally hit upon a scene from Apocalypse Now, since the name would work oh so well. My submission was entitled "A-Peep-Calypse Now - I love the smell of mallow in the morning!" and was made entirely of edible materials (save, of course, the shoe box and guns the peeps have). I ended up taking third out of 16, and was the highest placed submission that didn't use work time/resources/a team to complete it.

Without further ado:

A close up of the front flap, including the Peep in fatigues (green food coloring I painted on).

Side View (note the napalm 'bomb' incoming just left of center):

Title:

Top view. This provides the best view of the action so I'll elaborate here. On the right is Captain 'Peepard' storming up the beach with Lance and Chef. In the muddy (Peanut Butter) river, you see a surfer cruising by. On the left is Colonel Kurtz's base, which has been hit (in the center) by one napalm bomb already. A second is incoming, and yes I was singing the Flight of the Valkyries as I made this. Of course, if you've seen Apocalypse Now, you know that they didn't storm the base like this, instead they were captured, and the surfing was a completely different part of the movie. But hey, they also weren't peeps!
