Hi Garry,

Are you preparing for your Hadj?? That would be great news! Congratulations m8!!

Now, as far as the guy holding the round is concerned, I see a possibility: turn the left hand 90 degrees, and he can hold the round cradling it on the right forearm. You understand?? I hope so!!

The "hovering figures" are fairly general, bur mainly with the 2 guys holding the rounds upward.

Colours are a problem, and I'm not a fanatic for extremes in hues and tones.
Only, the 1943 uniforms were definitely greenish when compared to the earlier uniforms!
For an example take the kneeling guy....he is brown from the neck to the shoe soles!!

You definitely WERE in a hurry!!

You can do better, you've given proof of that already!

I'm impatient to see your next work, done calmly and without any stress!!

Have fun my friend!!!

Cheers

Romain

Many thanks Romain, actually the trip was at smaller scale than Hadj, called 'Umra'. Okay, let me carefully study your ideas and also prepare more and more valid references. The hardest point, again, that guy...oh no.. I have to 'break' his leg, right??

Thanks again for your input mate!


Cheers

Right!

There is an alternative: either cut off the hand and reposition it or else cut off this hand and replace it with another from the spare box!

Good luck!

Cheers

Romain
