Tremendous poses, Victor! Not to mention very accurate representations of the uniforms and field equipment. I have real period WWI German, French, British, American and Austrian uniforms in my collection, some with full field equipment, bayonets and rifles, and yours are spot on!
 
Hi Louis,

You are a very lucky guy. Not everyone can own museum-type pieces hahahha. Thanks for helping to spot any inaccuracies. However my disclaimer is that I follow almost strictly the ptg sources. This shows missing and incomplete field equipment. Sometimes even the wrong items. For the hidden elements, I try to second guess the intent of the artist.

I repainted the german feldgrau. So far all are done in acrylics before I do the final painting with oils.

Now developing three more main figures (all germans). The sculpting would be easier if I had used plastic parts or fully scratchbuilt. The scalelink metal parts are heftier and harder to manipulate.

Finally some bkgd figures being made from airfix jap and 1/35 tamiya figs. What's this - orcs again and I thot that I had improved on my sculpting. Back to anatomy class 101. hahaha.

I now demonstrate the art of creating a new scale 1/33 by cutting down an Airfix Lee Enfield. The 1/35 Tamiya rifle is still on its sprue.

The British figs have hands and rifles added.

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 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?

Looking good Victor,

I'm sure interested in what background you will be using and any other 'bits and pieces' on the battlefield.

John
