Nice one Dan!!!
Sooo much to take in from photo shots. Hope to see it in person at a New York event. every square inch tells a story. By the way, how big is it the base?

What can be said but GREAT JOB. Think I better burn a plastic kit to the gods of styrene or I'll never get results as well as you did.

Wow Dan
There is sooo much work involved here...
Most impressive, and you have some finely detailed figures amongst both your armies.
The painting of the faces and uniforms really makes the leap out of their surroundings.
Is it based in a specific city?
Cheers

54 figures in total all painted in vallejo acrylics and the boxcar I think was from Ironside but was a pretty crude kit. alot of extra styrene and brass in that one to make it look respectable.
thanks for the comment.
