Finally got off my duff and painted the rest of my Russian Cannon crewtonite.I did 5 originals and have been converting some other gunners for more variety.Going to make a mold of the new ones this week.
The Cannon, well it's not right. Thats a French cannon made by Niena in Russia. My Russian 12 pounder is a week or so away from completion, then moldmaking of course.I'd get further along but I keep making castings and converting poses and I have too many 1/2 done figures .Ill disciplined.

I think I have seen this backdrop building in some of Andy's promotional material but have never seen it on sale? Have I missed something?

Best wishes

Its a Department 56 building from their Bethlehem series.

 

[panda1gen]

Thanks

Kevin, it's called the Innkeeper's Caravansary, item #56-59795, it's on ebay every now and then or you could call around to shops that carry Dept 56, but it has been retired for a while.

Everything is all straightened out now. I will do a diorama for the forum here and there, after all this Forum drew the attention to my work, and the rest will be done for my sponsors. None of my sponsors web sites have any of my new stuff on them yet. Unfortunately Treefrog is not one of my sponsors, so you will have to find my other pics through the grapevine. Anything that remotely looked like a plug I requested removed from the Forum once it became apparent Treefrog was not involved with my projects. Firebat

I like the B/W pic. For the rubble do you just cut up random pieces of stone, brick, and wood? Its amazing how well you can make a piece of insulation foam look. I like your work. Keep building!

Here is a teaser, the full set of pictures will be on a Web Site Shortly. I can't believe how long it takes for my sponsors to get their Web Sites revamped. Everything will be popping shortly. The building on the left holds a BIG secret which you will find the answer to in Chicago. Firebat
