"Winter Quarters" Valley Forge

[Squiremon]

Here is my version of a Valley Forge vignette using figures from Model Cellar, FER and the "hut" from the very talented Armand Bayardi. It's 75mm. and painted with acrylics. I've taken a little different approach by trying to make it a 360 degree scene with an "inside" and an "outside" view. The lantern with the drummer boy is scratch built and the light flickers through a bulb controlled by a circuit board, powered by 3 AAA batteries concealed in the base. This has been a very enjoyable process and my gratitude goes out to fellow Planet Figure contributors such as Zeno and Jason whose work with this subject was very inspiring.

Thank you Bob. I used the leather technique on the cartridge boxes with the lamp black that you shared with me some time ago. Thanks for the tip and suggestion.
