finaly I finished that little scenery that I started last December. thought to put it to the winter warriors campaign but therefore I have other ideas.

there´s nothing to say about whats going on here as the figures tell the story;
still have to work a lot on my techniques of painting figures put for the moment I´m happy with it.

hope you enjoy it and as usual comments wellcome
Gracias

Hi Holger

I don't like such clumps of grass.It never looks real. Try to spread the grass a bit more perhaps.
Good weathering of the concrete. Well done.

The leaves are a problem to. For one, they are to stiff for dead leaves.
They are identical. They have overscale stem's. That is the manufacturer's offfering, but why shuld we swallow everything they give us. Try to change them, thin the stem, bend them, tear them apart, make it look realistic!

Awfull fotografing also! The green background is unsuitable.

Hope that was not to harsh Holger.

Claude

Has its good points and bad. The message is very good as the two soldiers do have that homesick look. The concrete barrier looks good. Very nice. Better photography improved the display. I agree that the leaves are a bit strange, also the cigaret is huge. You can make a smaller more believable one with a thin piece of wire strand........thank you for sharing.
