    Hi All,

    I am presenting to you a small WW1 vignette depicting a scene of two germans ready to attack.
    The officer figure is in my opinion one of the best in Verlinden's series.The second one comes as a part of a small vignette titled "no news from the Western front''.
    I did not make any significant modifications ,it is almost straight from the box.
    Extra effort was put on the groundwork where I also used the base from Verlinden with the skeleton.
    Please feel free to leave any comments/suggestions.

    Very nice, I like it, and I really dig the excellent effort you did on the groundwork, it all "falls together" quite well and it's quite convincing (y)

    ... Just wondering - who sculpted these excellent figures for Verlinden ? Looks like Brian Stewart but I may be wrong ... o_O

    Thank you Johan for your nice comments.I am not sure about the sculptor but I think that I have the same guess like you because the style is very similar..

    Really great depiction. Your attention to the groundwork paid off--it helps tell the "story" of the diorama.

    :eek: ... I already thought that the faces on these figures were better than the average Verlinden :wideyed: ... that explains...

    I was thinking of Brian Stewart because there is a similarity in sculpting style with the old S&T Confederate and Union infantry figures - same way of sculpting folds in the clothing etc.
    ... I never realized that you have done work for Verlinden, Mike ?

    The officer is one of my favorites and I will use him also as base for conversion for another figure that I am preparing.....

    Fantastic! I have the soldier and the base and you have done an excellent job on both the figures and the base. Very well done and a fair amount of work too to get it to this stage I can imagine
