    Hello All,
    The build has shifted to the front figures as some parting and fitting starts from the left hand side of the dio has begun.
    It took a while to pose the front figures as I wasnt happy with the original poses that lacked some "movement".After various poses and configurations ,settled on the poses shown that show best the story.Some work left on the wired armature behind the front fallen figures.
    Once again depicting absolute carnage is the theme.
    While working on the dio I sometimes turn my head away from veiwing it,then return to look with a "fresh pair" of eyes (taking out all expectation ).My returning look confirmed the utter chaos to mind.
    To be added to the ground work will be bits a pieces of equipment such as boots,water bottle and hats also a Turkish hat to the mix.
    Comments welcome.
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    As with all of your stuff this is looking really impressive.
    I think that your ability to get the carnage and chaos without having to over crowd the dio is amazing.
    Stunning work, very well done (or is that doing) either way it's bloody good.

    Andy,
    I can well imagine how tight it must be.
    I always remember an art lecturer saying that in groups like 'this the eyes or actions of each figure should lead you to another, no matter where you start'.
    I think that you have mastered that theory very nicely.
