Looking good! I have the same kit somewhere in my basement and I don't think my work will come out as good as yours.

Man, here I think I'm doing something good with my itty bitty 1/700 ships, and I take a peek in here ... this is art. Of the highest order.

Wow! Cool job on the gun! You've managed to "muck" it up to perfection! The grass and trees also look great. The figures compliment the seen really well especially the guy blocking his ears! well done Buddho. It's really a neat little vignette!

Cheers, Arthur

Work, work, work! You gotta put models on the table somehow!

"WOW" was my first thought too. Amazing. Love the weathering on the gun. I love it all around. Did you say "silphor grass"? Is that another name for static grass? I want some. Where do you find it?

Here is my latest vignette, made from an Italeri cannon kit with figures, Aufwerks leaves, silfor grass, artists gel medium for the groundwork, and tree roots for the trees.
