Finally finished

[John Long]

I'm happy to have this one behind me. I painted all the flesh areas this weekend. I can now move on to some other projects. I'm going to avoid vignettes and dioramas for a while. I'm a little disappointed in the composition on this one. I added a third figure because I thought it would help the scene, but what happened is the interaction between the kneeling and seated figure got lost, and I elected to change the pose that suggested interaction. I took a few shortcuts on these guys I won't try again. Sometimes, the long way is best.

Next up; I have a figure posed up that will hopefully turn into an attacking Eastern Woodland Indian.

Great vignette John.
Why do you don't turn the standing soldier with his face in the same direction as the others. Then they look all together at someting..
That's more interesting then this pose i think.

Too cool John. Perfect integration of ground work and figures. Nice base too!

Thanks everyone. I like the final product well enough, but as I stated before, it was a struggle. I appreciate everyone's encouragement. It helps to motivate for the next project.

Steve, that base was my last one.
