    Hi All,

    This is my latest completed piece. It is based on a classical painting, rendered in 1/24 scale down to 1/35 scale. It is a small shadow box, opening about A5.

    Hi Victor

    Yet another great piece of modelling ...I had to look really carefully to see it wasn't a real picture !!

    Very clever painting and a fine version all within a. A5 space

    Pleasure to see this as always

    Why not put something into the new FOTM , choose a class of your choice

    Happy benchtime

    Hi Kevin and Mobo,

    Thanks for your kind comments. I am thinking of adding another light source to light up the soldiers in the background.

    I substituted another mat frame painted gold to resize the scene. Also added a third light source.

    That's it for this piece. ax.jpg ax2.jpg ax3.jpg

    Superb stuff. Modelling at it's finest.
    One question, do you paint it any different knowing it'll be a shadow box, or keep the painting the same as you would a conventional figure?

    Hi Blind Pew and Kevin,

    Thanks for yr nice comments.
    When I do my shadow boxes, everything is subsumed to the frontal view, sculpting, modelling and painting. I try to reproduce the original colours as it would appear with any planned light source for the scene.
