I always liked this painting and thought that it would make for a great Toy Soldier release. It may have already been done but I have not seen it. Enjoy the painting!

Reference your suggestion..released as a Painting or as a Flat type of diorama ? I have seen several Flat type diorama's on different site's and they look very good....though I reckon they would be a bit heavy....TomB

Neither--54mm finished figure set or kit.

By coincidence, I just started on the old Airfix George Washington, for a build on a modeling forum, and it occurs to me that I could have converted the kit very easily, if I had thought of it before I started. I've only got the torso and the left and right upper leg pieces assembled, I still might be able to...

I have this subject as a print on a ceramic tile, by the way, been meaning to make a wooden frame for it and hang it on the wall.

Prost!

Here are a couple of semi flats I was experimenting with early last year...The Buck Rodgers flat has the figures slightly out from the background...the Russian lady is a full flat.....fiddling around with the concept you could start with a flat and then extend some figures outwards....something like a 3D picture.....something different ...converting plastic fig's would be a good idea...I reckon a sharp saw would be required ,,,,,,,, cheers TomB

Hi Brad,

I was thinking of the same thing-that being a finished figure & horse set and or even a kit. That painting really moves me. Tom's ideas regarding the flats & vignettes are interesting too. Frame that ceramic tile as I trust it will look sharp hanging on the wall.

Thanks,
Marc
