Once again my friend another classic photo from the Bond Studio.:salute:::salute:::salute:::salute::
 
Thank you all for your liking this scene. Once again I was inspired by Winslow Homer who often used only 2 figures in a scene to tell a story. This one is called the "Brierwood Pipe". The Zouave on the left is shown carving one for himself while his friend who already has one looks on.

Really nice dio. At times the practice of less is more applies. You proved it here. Thanks for sharing. :salute::

I just love Winslow Homer's work Randy.
I have long wanted to do more sets that would reflect the non combat activities of Civil War soldiers. I think it is easier to tell a story that everyone can relate to
with only a few figures.
I can't wait to see more of your vignettes.
All the Best,
Ken
 
Beautiful photo Randy and a couple of nice figures from Britains.
 
Nicely done Randy . . . . The 114th PA figures are beginning to be some of my favorites in my ACW collection.
