Hey Daniel,thanks ever so much for the positive comments :lol: 
! I really appreciate them. Yes,I really enjoyed reading the book tremendously ! You're right,it was certainly a fascinating read. Ernst Junger really captured the life and fears faced by a typical WW 1 soldier to a T. I was actually contemplating getting "Copse 125";thanks for the heads-up,Daniel. I hope to post more images soon.Thanks,once again,and cheers !

Hey Kenneth,
By far your best work. I think you have come quiet a long way and I think it speaks for itself that by listening to others it never hurts! The hand touching the cat is really a nice touch. All around nice work.

Hello Ken,
This is your best work to date. Loads of emotion and feeling.
It would be even better if you sharpen some of the folds (to take away that 'rolled putty' feel) and check out the position of the fingers on the right hand (especially that 'strayed' index).
Keep on persevering.

Hi guys :lol: ! Well,I've just completed the accessories to be included in my vignette "The Calm Before The Storm".The bundle charge grenade is made from Scalelink grenades,with the cap at the end coming from part of a Tiger 1 armoured air intake cover ! The cup,plate and bottles are from Historex and the tree stump from Armand P Bayardi. The spoon and fork were made from solder wire,using a flat nosed plier,a modelling knife,files and a pair of tweezers. I'll be working on the groundwork next. Cheers !

Ken,
The ustensils are a great addition. Although IMHO I have some reservation about the use of a cup AND saucer in the Flanders fields.

Quang,my friend,thanks for the positive feedback :lol: ! It's actually going to be a tin plate and cup utensil set.I read in "Storm of Steel" that the troopers tried to bring some "home touches" to the field whenever the opportunity and time presented itself (especially in the latter part of the conflict ) Cheers !

Hello Ken,
So what looks like an incongruous touch to the unsuspecting viewer (me :lol is actually a well-documentated and significant detail.
It only shows how valuable and important research can be.
Again, you did a good job. Just don't hurry and take your time to 'sharpen up' every detail. It's bound to be a GREAT vignette.
