Hello Dan, interesting pose indeed! The weight is on his right leg indeed (taking into account that he is facing us opposite), and the point of gravity is right under it. You can make him very slightly of balance towards the pick, but it would be best not to exagerate this. Note also how...

Merci Djoubrim! C'était un plaisir pour moi aussi! Thanks Dan! That is exactly what I wanted to show with this vignette! of course know the pics you mentioned. They would make great scenes also, but I picked the least labour-intensive now. I'm just lazy... :lol: In fact, the basic...

Hello Jose Luis! Great figures! Very subtle and precise painting. Best wishes, Marijn

Thanks guys! Since we are in fact making small three-dimensional IMAGES, I feel that composition is everything. One cannot create a strong image without a solid composition. So I'm really glad my work cold inspire you! :) Don't forget to post that project when you get started on it! :lol...

This will be a beauty Gary! I'm following this one with great interest. Thanks for all the sbs-pics! Best wishes, Marijn

Thanks Arthur! Patrick, the wood of the base is not very heavy (one of the reasons for me to select this one!), so I didn't hollow it out. A 1mm brass pin between his shoulders and a 0,5mm pin on his bum keeps it solidly in place. Strong enough to hold him safely by the wooden plinth and even...

Thanks tete2noeud and Patrick! Well, I don't know about those hundreds of others... I was more hoping for hundreds of other people, each makig hundreds of excellent pieces! Hey wait, this is already happening for many years... :lol: Thanks for the comments Patrick! The nameplate is just a...

Thanks for the idea Patrick! I plan to have it static though, and longer hairs would involve some resculpting, which I would rather avoid. I will just try to make it a little more irregular with paint, and keep it better in mind for the next one. Thanks! Gary, you are absolutely right...

Hello Guy, he looks very good! I especially like the mail armour: very realistic? How did you do this? I think the grounwork is a good start, but will certainly need some vegetation of some sort for more variation in texture. But if I understoof right, you have this planned already... Best...

Hello Joe, congrats on a great figure! I also like how the colours of groundwork and figure are very close together (it is very "brown" scene), but how you managed to bring it still alive by tight brushwork, good contrast in shading/lighting, subtle variations in the brown colours, and of...

Very very nice Stephen! I like the very human expression of his face a lot, and the pose looks already very interesting and dynamic. I'm looking forward to see the complete pose, and of course the finished figure with groundwork! Best wishes, Marijn

Wow, what a response! No John, I'm not used it yet. :lol: But it certainly is appreciated! Thanks a lot everybody! Yep, Per Olav, sticking to my plan(ning) is something I picked up when doing those big dios, as I could have never have finished any of those without a lot of discipline and...

I'm now in the process of painting. Here you have the faces and hats already:

Hello everybody, this is vignette I'm currently working on. It is a section of a railcar with two German soldiers, amongst the first to leave to the front in 1914. The atmosphere of that moment was very optimist: both armies thought they would get a quick victory and the war would be over...

Hello guys! sorry for the late reply... Thanks a lot everybody for all the nice comments! Very motivating... :) Hello Ray! I have only done a civilian or two in an AFV-diorma some years ago, but I certainly would like to do more of them. Why only do military, when there are so many other...

Hello Luca, Great face as usual! This figure has very good expression. How did you paint the armour? I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished, which will undoubtedly again not take very long... ;) Best wishes, Marijn

Hello Babis! Congratulations! You made a superb vignette! Great idea, and the attention to detail is fantastic. The figure must have been the least time-consuming job of it... Best wishes, and I hope to see it for real soon! Marijn

Hello Diego, Looks absolutely great! The pose is very well balanced, and the foldwork and wear is fantastic. Napoleonics are alo not my cup of tea, except for these battle-weary subjects. Painting should be interesting also with plenty of weathering! Thanks for posting Guy! Best wishes...

Hello Per Olav! aha, so you made your choice! I was already wondering what it would be... Great story! This one will be really fun to do, and it looks like it can be quicker than the last (no airoplane-scratchbuilding...). Only, this means I will have to wait to see your version of WW1...
