Just in time for Christmas, here's my version of the 1/35 D-Day Miniatures Xmas Truce vignette. All painted in acrylics:
This scene depicts a match between the 2nd Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and a Saxon regiment, which the Germans allegedly won 3-2 (no change there then).
There's no contemporary evidence that this match actually took place but there were many documented kickabouts during the truces, so for me this represents the spirit of that truce. A poignant reminder of what many of our relatives went through.
