    Hi Victor

    As always your modelling results in a amazing piece , it's a heck of a lot of work , like the presentation which is your skill in reproducing famous pictures ......I recommend all look back at your work

    Do like the use of scale to give depth , nice painting

    Why not vote in previous months FOTM as well as entering in the class of your choice in this months in both Vignette & Diorama comp #4 and also FOTM

    Thanks for sharing

    Look forward to seeing more

    Happy benchtime

    Superbly done. The artistry, conversion work etc. is a wonderful example of the modeller's art, and similar to some of Shep Paine's work.

    Hi Mirof,
    I had started a company known as Golden Chersonese Miniatures about 20 years back as an art installation project. The idea was to produce unique traditional toysoldier like figures all assembled from modular castings. The themes were all unique and based on ethnic culture and orchestras.
    Work commitment prevented me from doing it full time and I decided to close the company a year ago. I still have numerous castings and can do commissions upon request. There are still vestigial images on the internet of the pieces https://www.planetdiecast.com/index...e&task=viewslideshow&album_id=828&Itemid=2593
