Randy,
Another beautiful photo and setup of a great figure. I love the more obscure
soldiers and time periods that you present to us. This one is crisp and clean and I observe what I believe to be a H&A grass base that is needed in my den. What's the pedigree on your birch trees? Mike

Thanks Mike

The grass is from H&A and the tree and "logs" are cut from trees in our yard.
