That’s superb, the broad leaves are exceptional.

Groundwork looks like you have grown it it a mini greenhouse, very realistic. Also like the way you have added the tracer rounds to the MG link, nice bit of detailing.

Thanks guy for the nice replies!

@Steve (and others ;-)) Yes, every fifth round is (or should be...) a tracer (Advantage from being in the army once...) Counting these tiny bullets was a real core, and I hope I hit every fifth...

Hi Erik

Great to see you sharing this , really atmospheric , he looks just right , resigned almost to trekking through the rice fields , wet , and heavily wishing he was in the states

Lovely groundwork as well ...really does look like it’s been grown , good water effects

Always good to see your art

Why not look at supporting the competitions as well with a piece

Looking forward to seeing more

Have fun @ the bench

Thanks Nap!

My goal was indeed to have a nice real green moisty environment and a grunt with "the 1000 yard stare". Was fun to do!

Steve, Oda, Karsten thanks for your replies!

Doing this project it remembered me when I was in green, how I hated it to go wet with boots on and all that gear for no reason other then what the sergeant said... Those where the days...
