Always works better when the wife is happy, mine tells me it's OK because at least she knows where I am!

The underground scene looks good, you have the figures posed just about perfectly.

Cheers Simon

Superb diorama. All those trees bring Bob Ross (Joy of Painting, Sky Arts) to mind!

Hi All,
I have worked on the Death comes to Onderlangs piece, I have fixed the fence and shrubs so I could finally get the Para positioned and
finished. Just need to let it fully dry as I forced a few things.
cheers
Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Really well done, can't wait to see this painted.

Cheers Simon

Just catching up with all the updates mate, you have been busy, Polish project looks great now with some colour being added. Para hung up on the railing is really coming along now, going to be a cracker when done.
Cheers mate

Excellent, a very evocative vignette.

 

[Richie]

Hi Simon, Steve, Nigel,
Thank you so much really appreciated.
cheers
Richie

Hi All,
I have made some really good progress with the Dutch underground vignette, the figures are more or less finished need to tidy up a few bits. I was going to close up the jacket on the German as in the photo but liked it the way it was.
The rough groundwork done and a couple of trees roughed out. Will need to let everything set and dry before continuing this piece so off for a painting session on the Polish Para's.
cheers
Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Another great scene laid out and looking good, the composition is, as ever great.

Cheers Simon

Hi Richie

My goodness your busy , what’s not to like the Polish looks great painted up , the partisan works really well , look forward to seeing more on that

The Onderlangs one is very moving and a clever piece of modelling showing just how much a single figure can portray

ALL credit to Neil for his help

Look forward to seeing more ...this is going to be one amazing display when all finished

Have fun @ the bench

[Richie]

Hi Simon & Nap,
Thank you very much, yes very, very productive and really enjoying it. This is the last piece I am building until I get
all the pieces painted, this was inspired by Simon's idea...thank for the suggestion mate.
Hand to hand in the rubble...the Para is going to smash a brick into the German soldier.
cheers

These are great. I love the dynamic pose in the last one.

 

[Briggsy]

Wow, not often I'm inspirational, so well chuffed. Nice little vignette and good interaction and movement between the figures, another reminder of the grim reality of warfare.

Cheers Simon
