I like the concept of this.... nicely done!!!! I'm anxious to see it painted now....

Dan, Constructive criticism aside you've done a nice job. Basing a figure, let alone a vignette on a painting/illustration is not an easy thing to do. A number of people could do the same piece and you'd end up with a like number of differing interpretations. I do applaude you attention to detail/accuracy. Your piece by piece listing of weapons and equipment is always an interesting read.~Gary

Pete, Brad and Gary - Many, many thanks gentlemen. You are most kind!

The fix should be relatively easy, actually. The more I looked at what Chris said I could see what he was seeing. So-better to get it fixed regardless...

In this case, the fact that I chose M1914 leather field harness vs. the M1908 canvas field harness shown in the illustration - actually worked against me!!! But again, I don't know how you'd fit M1908 together to make the bit used to lift the wounded man. What do you think, did the illustrator take an "artistic license" approach?

All the best,
Dan
