Wow Jerry, really wasn't expecting to see this. It's a really good piece though. Current but not what we're used to on the topic of 'OIF' and the like.

Allthough not really my cup of tea (we do not know the patriotism/Nationalism/veteranworshipping like the Americans) I have to commend you on some good out of the box thinking and a pretty nice result on this sculpt as well. Both figures look pretty nice. I can understand why you went with the "real" hair route on the little girl but why did you not do this on the veteran?

Thanks for looking in Roberto,
I did not add cotton hair on the vet because he has short hair and I have not yet figured out how to accomplish that with cotton.


I just noticed the untanned bar under the hairline where the cap would prevent it from becoming bronzed. Nice touch.
That is actually extra points.

Wow, this is great. Don't see many little vignettes like this. Great stuff

Great rendering of a tragic reality. Not an easy topic for sure.
You have been successful!
Congratulations Sir!

Cheers

Jerry this is a fantastic subject, a very different one but in part thats the reason it is so good. The small setting is just right and the pose and modifications to the figures are amazing. Its a fantastic tribute to those who have served and continue to serve.

Jerry,
This is a scene that really needed to be done.
It brings home the stark realities of when the drums stop beating.
Kudos to you, my friend, for having the balls to bring it to life!
All the best,
Gary

Hi Jerry

Good idea for an unusual scene. Well done for that.

With amputing a right arm and a left leg you may perhaps have done a bit "to much". IMO

There is a problem around the feet of both figures (damn those macro photos :-))
They are to firmly set, they look borderline cemented to the side walk and there are even hints of moss green around the feet. Something is not right.

Otherwise, as said, good idea!
