Mike,
I have tried your method of painting, (not to your standard though) it works, it does take practice but well worth the effort. Thanks for the guide.
Superb painting on these little figures, but by the look of it you have either got bloody great hands or they really are 54mm.
This is one little dio I will have to try.
Thanks again for posting.
Best regards.

Kinell, my thoughts exactly!

You're a very talented man Mike! Very realistic.
Andy B

Wow! And wow again!

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Mike,
Love the realism and that your thinking outside the square with this dio, a pleasure to look at, congratulations.
Regards
Chris.

Way too kind here Paul. Thanks!
What technique were you particularly keen too try mate?

Thank you Dan, may pay more to the new macro lens I've got.
Hasty practice first shots using this.
Hope I can capture whole scene when I complete it.

Neat to hear you've had some success Bob.
And no my hands are normal size & these guys are true 1/32 scale.

Honoured to get this comment from you
Your trench scenes have inspired me to spend more time on this "leftover" trench.
It's a bit worse for wear having swapped ownership over a period of time

Thanks! And Thanks again! Andrew

Pleasing to hear you like it Chris, thanks & still trying hard to capture a genuine sense of place.
Have used actual soil from Chunuk Bair which I bought a small sample home for this vignette.


Stay safe everyone, your supportive comments are all appreciated.
Mike

The texturizing will look auperb on larger scale I think Mike particularly on Napoleonic pack rolled blankets and horse blankets amongst other things.

Paul

Agree Paul.
This is where I first started practicing with this on my large 1/6th 300mm projects.

Look forward to seeing your experiments

Fantastic piece.
Mark

It's done!
A year has passed since I began this project & finally lads are ready to tell their story.
Just awaiting a nameplate for base.

Will explore taking photos with macro lens on camera this weekend.
Aim to have photos to share within the week

Stay safe,
Mike

Beautiful work Mike, a thought provoking and poignant wee scene. Thank you.
Scotty.

Thanks Scotty & Carl.

Trying to sort out photos of the final scene.
In the meantime here's a little more of the story...

Your just like a stripper, teasing us bit by bit.

Brilliant....sooo realistic Mike,love the whole scene,your webbing is out of this World....Bravo my friend,take care.
Regards

Seriously Bob just trying to get to grips with Macro lens.
Life's one big lesson & so lots more learning to do.
Thought I'd share progress in meantime
Maybe some more shots today of the other bits

Thanks Peter, sort of enjoy texturing webbing, though have done a fair bit over the last couple of months so may need less on next project.
Appreciate comments mate.

Stay safe,
Mike

Changed up the background & tried to get effect of heights...

Beautiful Mike, superb painting and texture.
