Hi Jerry, embarassed to say I didn't keep up with this blog but I've just spent a half hour catching up. I love what you are doing with the old esci wagon and those horses are looking great. Will definitely keep up with you now !

One question though, on the first page there is a book showing diagrams of the horse tack, can you tell me which book that is ? Really fancy doing a horsey project again.

Keep up the good work !

Andy

Yup! You are talking about figure painting on an extremely high level guys!

You know that, don't you!!

Cheers

Hi Jerry,

Coming along, nice concept, there is a very well known photograph from Operation Market Garden that has a similar setting, so I'll be following along as usual.

Cheers

Good mourn...ing Falaise!!!

Realistic slumpage & carnage happening here! ... and the fallen officer's cap is a nice touch as well. ... This is just too cool!

Anxiously awaiting your next update. I've got the popcorn ready!

Yes Alan,

I think Jerry knows that photo too..!!!!

Both a german general and his staff car riddled with bullets!!

Yeah well,
That last guy you did sure turned out very nicely. Pat yourself on the back brother. The only thing I could suggest on the old mechanic guy was a horizontal touch up under the eyes. There is a little end of a brush stroke on the bottom eyelids on each eye. Not that I could do any better!! LOL

Interesting stuff Jerry. I'm planning on doing some similar stuff for my BMP-1 dio so I'm taking notes on the mock up poses ! The figs are looking good as they are- I like the Officer falling out of the vehicle- that will likely tie the car into the scene very nicely...in a 'nicely' gruesome way I should say!

Alright Mr.! Now you're pushing it!

You'll have a hell of a job displaying a dead person behind the wheel. He has to be completely limb and I am really interested about how you will be pulling that off.

I wasn't sure what you meant at first Jerry, but then I looked more closely at the last picture in the grouping. How did I miss that? No wonder I didn't win!!! Lol.

Thanks bro. I will get to fixing him as soon as I find him...

After I took the pictures I hastily set him aside so I could read my girl a couple bed time stories, and haven't been able to remember where I put him!!!!

Inspiring stuff. It is interesting to see such a high ranking officer in that state. Keeps it unique. Can't wait to see what this third figure in the backseat will look like. Did you scribe wood texture into the seat beneath the driver?

This is turning into a big one, isn't it?

Yikes. I knew a good deal of them got caught in the mess, like the HJ commander, and some of the lower-down officers like Max Wunsche. I never really think of that aspect, especially in that scenario. It's always the infantry and tank crewmen etc. Good to see the officers represented... Even in that grisly state hahaha.
