Excellent dio. Your attention to detail is magnificent. Your weathering techniques and contrast in colors is great and yet they still blend in nicely. Great work.

I think I saw something similar to this once...isn't there a story to go along with it? Didn't he almost singlehandedly stave off a russian armored company or something?

Check out Jason's link below the pictures. Tells the whole story, and gives a really good perspective on the look of his face.

First rate work, really first rate. 2 Way up!

Excellent work, The expression on the figure's face seems to be almost numb and spent. That goes well with dragging the shovel and the nearby grave. Just a great piece of work. Good story and composition.

Awesome work. I love the groundwork and the weathering, especially on the fence. Is it me, or does the hand on the guy look out of scale? Well done.

Very nice work indeed. Your attention to detail and the level of contrast through the diorama is very thoughtful. I like it a lot.

Jason-

Beautiful work on all three of the pieces you've shown here. The Knight's Cross, in particular, is amazing. Very yin/yang sort of thing going on there...one side of the cottage with the sunflowers blooming, and death and war on the other.

Tell me, are the sunflowers photoetch, or resin, or what?

All three pieces are very inspiring.

Thanks for sharing them.
