Here's my third in this line from Hasegawa. Tons of fun building these.
I used oils over AB'ed acrylics. The cobble base is from a Lowes home goods detail bathroom tile piece I got on sale. The individual bricks were 'glued' to a 4"x7" backing. It was intended for a detail stripe in a bathroom. I just pulled each individual piece off and used them as I saw fit. The grass is hand planted from a wheat stalk product from Military Miniatures and the rest is scratch.

Now, that's pretty cool. What do these figures scale out to?
Maybe something like this could get me to break my "fear" of figure painting?
Nice one Scott.

Hey Scott
I do like these figures and you seem to have brought him to life, despite being in camouflage... Nice idea for the tile finish for the cobbles... I can picture you perusing the aisles and the *presto* out pops the idea

Thanks guys. Mike they are officially listed on the box as "1/12?" Each figure is about 4" high. I do like them because they are nice transitions to figure painting but they aren't too serious.
Bradley - you have the perfect picture of me in Lowes. Looking for tile for a 1:1 project and BAM it hits me - "pull these off and they'd make great cobbles". Snapped up a piece along with the rest of the stuff for the 1/2 bath.
