Completed "river Crossing" Australian Soldier, New Guinea, Ww2.

[Mark S]

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments.
Colin, I'm glad you saw it that way because that's exactly what I had in mind, cheers.
Adrian and Don, glad you like the lillies, I really enjoyed making them.They all came out too big on my first attempt, but the scale's right now.
Taff and Derek, I pondered over that base for a long time too, cos I have a lot of them, but I reckon the one that looks like I sat on it works well..Cheers.

Good stuff Mark, l'm enjoying what l see...the contrasts in effects, is very exciting, again good stuff..

Thanks a lot Phil, I really enjoyed putting this one together is a great scuplt mate.
As you can see I extended the base a little and added what I imagine is a common sight in New Guniea's shallow tropical rivers.
Keep those figures coming Phil,....cheers.

Hi Mark ,

Nice work , great effects on the wet uniform , he really looks like he is wading through hell ..I really like the contrast with the lillies ....all nicely done ...the base ...like Del I wasn't sure but after much looking it does indeed work well and I am sure it all looks better in real life (Pics never are my forte either!!!)

Thanks for posting

It is a dramatic sight、Mark.
A soldier is very realistic.
Photography is also cool.
