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

A quality Christmas to you and yours

Phil

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
Richie

Many thanks Richie! I'm not sure about Santa, but my wife did leave the room briefly.

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 Confererate 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

Thanks very much! Oniria's western movie vignettes are wonderful in concept and execution and a joy to paint. This one really caught my attention and I wanted to do it justice.

Have a safe and healthy Christmas.

Lost track of this one for a while. Superb job all around and the addition of the coffin absolutely makes the whole thing work. I will be ordering this one for sure.
