This is the rider on the rearing horse. I had modelled him reaching out to hold the other horse rein. However, I think the torso is too long. So Ive remodelled it.

Now trying to add more detail to this piece. I finished turfing the base and then painted the grass. Also added rocks.

Hi Louis, I stuck the trees in place and will continue to detail them.

Now making up the trees with twigs and roots.

Hello John and Louis, Notice the first pix. I snipped and bent the right knee to get the correct pose. Went for a walk and picked up some twigs. Selected suitable sizes and forms. Then added wires for stability. Inserted into the scene for context...

I couldnt wait to add the figs to the scene. As this is a very tight setting, I need to get their positions correct. Not bad, huh?

I started to pose the mtd cavalry on the base as I have to start adding the infantry into the scene. Notice the gradient sloping to the front. The second pix was taken too close so I missed out the third cavalryman. I hope the shading and highlights will resolve by itself as the scene develops.

Painting the base.

The base was placed inside the shadowbox for sizing and painted.

Here's the proposed base for this.

Hi Louis Absolutely agree with y on Guns of Navarone. I just watched Force 10 again and found it to be acceptable, not as bad as ice stn zebra. Rgds Victor

And now, for something completely different..... I made up a base and plastered over it.

The Tommies are painted.

Adding 7 more figs to be sculpted. Watching Gods and Generals as I work..

Hi Louis, Thank you. Still a lot more to do. Just ptd the Germans. Not shown in the ptg but notice the bayonet scabbards and tassels, and the red piping. I think they add a bit of colour to this scene.

I started to paint the mtd figs in oils developing the highlights and shadows. Noticed that the main fig was lacking a jaw making him look a little simian. So I added a jaw. Finished the mtd figs in oils. Notice that the main fig has the most details.

The mtd figure is painted.

Hi Louis, TX for highlighting. Done. I also realised that the wounded soldier is an officer so gave him a model 1889 officer's sword converted from Historex. All the figs were painted in acrylics.

Hi Steve, I understand that you have associative memories with this movie. Rgds victor

Hi Wolfgang, I sanded down this fig and continued to refine it. For the other ghoul, I snipped off the lower jaw, trimmed down the cheeks and I have a smaller head.
