The Art of JOHN ROSENGRANT

[Scotty]

Excellent work on that diorama, it really has that worn, dusty, desert feel about it. The DAK tankie figure is looking good too, really natural pose.

Nice work John,

I am not familiar with Raptor Miniatures and i cannot find their website on the internet, do you have it by chance as i would like to purchase this DAK figure when finished?

Thanks in advance.

John, it makes me very happy that Sheperd Paines name is mentioned in one of your post. Lets not forget this extraordinary man who had such an influence on many of us in our community throughout the years. I still treasure his books "How to build Dioramas" and "Building and Painting Scale Figures".

Thanks guys for all the nice compliments.

As far as getting this figure reach out to Christopher Mrosko on Facebook he owns Raptor Miniatures and is producing the kits.

Shep Paine will always mean a lot to me - he and his work were a huge inspiration to me(as you say countless others) and the reason I sculpt miniatures and do this type of work . I always enjoyed my time with him as well - He paved the way!!

Love that beautifully executed diorama. Very pleasing to see that you saw to it that the ole Roger Saunders "Desert Rat" now has his place for display too!

Something tells me that them Afrika Korps sculpts are going to be very popular!

Has anyone got a link to Raptor Miniatures website (if they have one)?
I've tried looking but all I find are model dinosaurs.
