Thanks Graham! I'm a little cross eyed right now working in 36mm but hanging in there (and enjoying myself).

Superb Ken, excellent painting, look forward to the others.
You could have painted the pins blue as soldiers during that period were a bit skinny.

Thanks Bob! I like the pins idea! Blue with a Tan top.

Really, really like this one Excellent concept and groundwork topped of by great painted figures. This would be admirable at larger scale but this small, just stunning.

Impressive work Ken. The vignette spins it's own story, repeated many times during that period.

A quality Christmas to you and yours

Hi Ken,
What great work in such a small scale, I love these little vignettes of yours. I bet those stars on the flags were a joy to paint, I hope you were a good boy with your language otherwise Santa not might turn up.
cheers

Excellent paintwork, i thought your vignette is 54mm, but just saw it's smaller. Amazing piece, very moving scene, soldiers burying their comrade, i can imagine they have been in many burials before this and also seen many of their fellow soldiers fall, that Confederate battle flag is a nice touch, wiever can see these troopers are burying a veteran of another bloody war.

Merry Christmas to you and stay safe

 

[Stephan]

Love it, you did a great scene.
