WIP French Poilu from Model Cellar

[Scott Sheltz]

I'd love to know where you got your copy from, as I can't seem to find it available on the Model Cellar site, or any other sites for that matter (or at least from the vendors I usually patronize).

Here is Model Cellar's website https://modelcellar.com/

I picked up my copy at the National Capitol Model Soldier Society (NCMSS) in Springfield VA.

The figure is about done, less the inevitable dust and mud to add. I added a chauchat mg from Jon Smith Modellbau to provide a bit of extra visual interest to the vignette when I get the base together. It will sit up above him on the trench lip.

Looking very good, it's a wonderful figure and you are doing it justice.

Working out the setting. I slogged through the new All Quiet on the Western Front yesterday to get in the mood.

I’m liking this composition, earthworks and sandbags tomorrow.

 

[MattMcK.]

Bring on the mud!

 

[MattMcK.]

Sandbags drying, hoping to start the painting of the scenery this afternoon!
