That is really nicely done. The painting on the soldiers is lovely.

Very nicely done. The faces are exquisite. The spiderweb seems a bit heavy(IMHO). With careful application of Testor's tube cement, applied in the corners, you can create a finer one. Simply apply a very small amount of cement and let it set for a couple of minutes. Then, use the tip of a razor knife or needle to draw the cement from the corners to the center of the web.

Love the face on the soldier yelling at the kid, really conveys the whole atmosphere of the scene.

Again, very good story and interesting choice of colours.

Your vignettes would do well in a Vietnam War museum.

Another fantastic scene- a very unique one definetly and very well done in terms of staging and painting- as others have said the faces really bring the scene to life.

You need to eat more cookies Romain.

Often the dark plastic container for the cookies has such designs and is ready to accept some plaster for copying.
You just need to eat enough brands to find the one you are looking for.

That's exactly the problem...How am I supposed to fit in my trousers if I eat all the brands necessary to find the ONE!

That's why I took the initiative and asked directly!!

But thanks for the hint anyway!!

Hello Alex,

A while back, Vladimir Demchenko told me of your work and it is nice to see it here from various angles here on Armorama. You come up with some excellent vignettes and dioramas. I like how you have incorporated the boy with the toy M16 into this scene.

Keep up the great work.

James
