    Hi guys (and maybe some girls, let's hope.... ;) )
    Enclosed a picture depicting very exhausted French Mobiles during Franco-Prussian War....
    It's not a 100% lookalike, I was mainly interested baout the overall atmosphere

    Starting painting soon

    That is a marvellous piece of sculpting, Thierry, very effective and full of atmosphere, even at this stage. You have captured the spirit of despair very well. Can't wait to see it painted......what scale is the vignette? And, will it be commercially available ?:rolleyes:

    Oh ya, this is gonna be cool, and it would be even cooler if its to be a commercial piece. There is some skillful work going on there and I look forward to seeing the final result.

    I can see how the painting inspired you, it is such an atmospheric piece that conveys the misery endured by the common foot slogger.

    Another masterpiece from your hands Thierry. You capture the feeling of despair and fatigue to perfection. Can't wait to see it painted.

    Cheers,

    Having had another look at these, they look like converted "Stalingrad" figures from the German and Russian rest sets but I may be wrong.

    Hello
    This is a 1/35 sclae (my favourite)
    I have some copies of the soldiers casted by Resicast and also equipments (and the three central figures will be edited by Resicast but in WW1 version : so, uniform is different and they got british helemt or kepi)
    It was scheduled to be a commercial vignette but there is so many producers, and five figures + a base + equipments should have been to expensive in my opinion.... + a lot of work for packaging, brand name etc (as Resicast was not interested to cast it under its name... and not their scope of work dedicated to WW1 only)

    This is an excellent vignette with extremely well sculpted figures. Too bad it will not be available commercially. Waiting to see it painted.

    Hi all and thanks for your very nice comments, I appreciate a lot.

    Concerning the commercial : you know, I could do it commercial. the point is that you got five figures, equipments and the base.... I don't know what could be the value for such a set. and I'm not sure that people would pay for 5 figures in one shot....

    What if I make it cast and nobody interested anymore ?
    Anyway I could cast for people interested (if enough people...) the casting is for 30 copies minimum (not sure 30 people would like to buy...)

    I could have it cast, and then you send me email, pay by bank and I send it by post (I can have the delivery values by the Belgian post)
    Go for a vote !!
