Hi
What a lovely piece of work. The sculpting, composition, painting, are superb. It's the sort of thing I'd expect to see awarded Gold Best of Show at any major model show. Well done and thank you for sharing it with us.

Wow, that is Top stuff!
You guys do a top pair as the boys do in the vignette.
Your friend should commercialize the figures.
Well done

Fantastic Joaquin. I have echo what Alan said regarding pieces like this do so well at major competitions. It has it all, idea, composition, sculpt, painting, and just general WOW factor for something so small and capturing something that is totally unique.

A beautifully rendered scene, very evocative and the precision with which the photograph has been produced as a model is stunning.

Hi,
what a nice piece, telling us the story of the children witnesses of war times.
The sculpting is very good too.

The WOW factor a plenty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A street scene that is so evocative and sensitive !!!!!!!!!!!!! It does not need a massive tank to evoke memories of war torn cities and kids getting back their playful innocence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful
