    Moving along. Rifle and gear next, then final assembly and weathering, and a trench display in an Adrian helmet.

    Slowly, slowly… but getting there. More glazes needed I think.

    The figure is about done, less the inevitable dust and mud to add. I added a chauchat mg from Jon Smith Modellbau to provide a bit of extra visual interest to the vignette when I get the base together. It will sit up above him on the trench lip.

    Working out the setting. I slogged through the new All Quiet on the Western Front yesterday to get in the mood.
