[Larry R]

[LCoote]

AWESOME Jason, what can I say

 

[yeo_64]

Jason,I must agree with the rest on this:AWESOME WORK,my friend ! Thanks for posting and keeping us inspired.Cheers !
Kenneth.

 

[Jason W.]

Thanks fella's! It's your comments that keep me motivated. Needless to say, this project has been labor intensive, but fun as well.
Gary, all those straps make me dizzy too :lol:
Daniel, thanks buddy! Btw, have not forgot about the sbs stuff on the zouave.

Here's some more pic's. The soldier on the left is primed and ready to go (finally!).
Need some more work on the little things- rifle, knapsacks and such.
Not sure about the "falling" soldier. I didn't really intend on having him falling off the base. But, I guess it gives more of a sense of movement. His knapsack, except for the mess tin in top, is all Magic Scup, straps as well. I think I may use this instead of lead foil for straps. I like how it blends in and is more easy to manipulate.

Jason,that's one AWESOME,AWESOME vignette you got there !!! Now I'm REALLY inspired to try some thing similar ! Keep it up,my friend and I'm looking forward to the next step.Cheers !
Kenneth.

BTW,how come the chin straps on the kepis are in different colours(and bright ones too !) ?

 

[garyjd]

Jason, Very very nice. I'm glad you managed to finish it. I do like the figure falling, though part(s) of figures hanging off a base can be a bit tricky hauling it to a show. After seeing your work in person I'd really like to see this one painted. By the way what ever happened to your French officer in the greatcoat? Did you ever paint him? Hey, I even made a trip out tonight to buy some paint brushes.~Gary

 

[btavis]

Absolutely super Jason

Thanks Kenneth and Bob!

Gary, I hate to say it, but he's on the back burner He WILL get painted though. The reason why he didn't get painted earlier was he had no base. Now that I'm stocked up, he may be next "on deck". Glad your gettin the paint bug...bout time.

 

[garyjd]

Jason, I wanted to have enough brushes to get me through the few things I started painting and the other projects I'm working on. I picked up four more bases at MFCA and have a total of 15+ Thomas Art bases that I've gotten over the past few years. I only wish I would've scooped up more 54mm figure bases. Again great job on the vignette.~Gary

Keep up the good work.
Roc.

 

[LCoote]

That's just superb Jason It's a great touch with the figure overhanging the base a little

 

[Joe Hudson]

Jason,

Just when I thought you could not get any better. You come up with this great vignette! I look forward to seeing you paint it now.

Joe

Dear Jason,

I am impressed. Wonderful work. Looking forward to their completion

regards :lol:

 

[Larry R]

Jason, you impress me more with every post. Truely outstanding work!

 

[Patrick Kirk]

Jason,
Simply amazing...can't wait to see how you paint them up. Truly a work of art...I noticed that one of the figures is a little more white than the others...is he primmed or something?

Hope all is well

Patrick
