Here is a little spoiler. I am half way on working on the tree and couldn't resist.

Still working on getting the tree to look like the mist and fog have gotten it wet but not soaked. Not there yet.

Tried to get some better pics but they all suck!
As far as the fine twigs go,they are so fine they don't even show up on these pics Romain. They are as fine as human hair almost and I got them from the inside of a lamp cord.

P.S.: I know the type of fine wire...the kind that breaks in 2 when you only look at it in an unfriendly way!

Great little scene Jerry. The tree is awesome, especiallly the broken off bits. Good idea to do this as the tree could over-power the scene. The figures poses work great.

I notice the difference in the figures, looks good. I like the moss on the creepy tree as well, that's a nice touch.

Hi m8!

those fir trees are not easy to make, but yours are really nice and well worth the time investment IMHO.

I fully understand the impulse to stage a little scene and take a pic or 2! After all, we want to see what things will look like, don't we!

One thing I noticed (and so did you most probably) is that the M2 might do with a nice wash of oil paint. The vent holes are especially conspicuous here.

Keep up the great work....and post a few more pics..please!!

Cheers

Romain

Looking really good, Jerry!

Did you make the small fir trees with "air fern" for the branches? They also look very nice.

You have to give us some more pictures, mi amigo. I'd love to see some more of the figures and a few overall shots.

As always, I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Yes well,the M2. The gun has only been given a base coat of dark grey. When I worked in the arms room of my Infantry company the guns were pretty shiny from being cleaned all the time. The exceptions were brand new guns and they were a flat dark grey. I figured this one would be fairly new and when I get to work on painting and weathering it I hope to get some more definition. I just found a better rear sight for it as well. So it's still very much a WIP,

I know guys liked to use empty ammo cans for carrying maint. stuff and so I used one of the great resin ones from Wally and painted the cloth items as if they were cleaning rags and there is a gift on top of them for my buddy Mike, a set of headspace and timing gauges!
