Christmas Truce 1914

[misfit151]

Hi to all....during my recent move to my new painting room I had to the chance to sort through my stash....and I came across this little gem.... I gave it priority over other stuff in time for remembrance Day.....it's an old Stormtroopers production and a treat to paint.....had to give him the Everton scalf as they won the championship 1914/1915 before football was suspended...sorry to other football supporters out there....many thanks for looking.... don't forget your poppy.... Mike

Lest we forget....

That's really nice, I haven't seen that bust before and looking into the history of the football was a nice touch in its self adding colour to the subject, getting it done in time for remembrance day was thoughtful and having that wee item of remembrance in the cabinet all year round is a fitting tribute.
We Will Remember Them.

Beautiful paint job, Mike - I could temper your Everton bias slightly by saying it's a Sheffield Wednesday scarf though!

 

[MCPWilk]

Beautifully done - catches the character of the man.

Very nice Mike, and appropriate too. I bet the Toffees manager (and most of the players) were local lads back then
