Hallo from Greece,
I would like to share with you one of my latest vignettes made of simple stuff I had in my drower and were looking for a home.The kid is a figure from Andrea's range and the puppy from Alpine British figure set.All the rest are made from scratch using DAS model clay,country stones and branches,and lot of imagination.The leaves are from Joefix Studios and lake water will be from Delux material's solid water.Bluebird is a conversion from Tamiya live stock little chicken.
Hope you like it...

Really good, nice features like the egg nest, the roots are very well done, the dog is so cute (need to get that one) and looks great in the interaction with the boy.
I don't understand the story with the bucket?

Thank you all for your comments.
You will understand the story of this vignette when the water will be added,a fishing stick and ...NOTHING in the bucket..he,he.That's why he is a bit sad...
Cheers,

I like this vignette already... Nice built up and with the water and everything painted it will be a looker that's for sure... Nice conversion of the little chicken into a bluebird... something I will remember.

Thank you all for your comments.A tiny update including the shortened trunk and branches due to some comments I received for loosing the balance placing such a high tree(although it was scaled down to 54mm...anyway).
Soon the painting procedure.Stay tuned...
Cheers,
Zisis

This is really great work and beautiful to look at, the scene is a great idea too.

However I can't help but feel that the tree overpowers the scene somewhat?

Hi there,here I am with the final planing,positioning,with a new photo etched bucket,primed at last,one step before the final touch with colours to give it life.
For the priming I used the fantastic Hycotte car primer with unique smoothness and coverage.

This is absolutely splendid. Your fish really tips it, but what happened to your 1/35 worm?

Wow Zisis
This is just fantastic mate. I love very component you have used, and you seem to have no troubles in scratching your own 'anything' when not readily available to buy...
When the eye runs up and down the features, I love how there is something to see at each level.
Truly great work

Superbe, indeed!

This is a vignette worth a Best of Show anywhere!

The water is great, no other words. I simply love this dog. Where did you say you get it from?

Wonderful!

Claude
