Another great one. Love the way you have the lead NCO in midstride with his foot off the ground. Just also noticed the broken leg in the splint and the bare foot. Amazing how you even captured the shades and tones of the bottom of that bare foot!

Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us Jerry. I love it, and learned a lot. Your techniques and artistic style is great! Beautiful.

Jerry, as always...outstanding mate. On top of the excellent painting of the uniforms the facial expressions speak to the viewer, showing a wide range of moods and emotions. Your figures really are something else. I have to confess I picked this set up cheap off ebay for a casualty clearing staion I've got planned and I'll be using yours as a bench mark to work towards. I won't hit it but if I can get it half as good as yours I'll be happy. Keep them coming! Regards Karl

Hi Jerry,

Congratulations on another great build! Inspirational as always - specifically on two points - first, the way you give our little plastic friends form, such human quality - they don't look like staged mannequins! Really nice - next, is the crisp but not distracting contrast between uniforms and gear - the edges look great, and realistic -wow....

Thanks for sharing another one with us!
Cheers,
Nick

Great work Jerry,to be honest ,i don't like most of the plastic figures,but this is again a real masterpiece.

Hi Jerry,
The backdrop with demolished building, smoke plume, and the shattered trees in the foreground/background add so much depth and even more realism to your brilliant work of art. I'm enjoying this immensely. Well done!🍺

Thanks Mike,
To be more realistic it should have way more smoke and dust because it was so thick after the bombing the assaulting units often lost their way because of it.

I like the way you explain a scenario. ... And how about a Dolby Digital soundtrack! ... Heck, Hollywood should just go ahead and hire you on as a technical advisor!

They used to. But no one ever gave me credit,let alone pay. So I didn't answer the phone any more. I would have been happy with just the recognition !
Very nice of you to say though buddy.

I know exactly what you mean. … In the past I’ve been contacted by writers to pick my brain regarding a climbing related film production — got a: “Thank you very much.” There was no compensation, but at least I feel they latched onto much of my input.

One week later, with only one week left before shooting, the Producers frantically called me back to come work as a (paid) stunt double. When potentially catastrophic mistakes began to appear on set (blizzard conditions, bad fall, cut rope potential) it was really frustrating trying to communicate the need for safety to one of the two Directors (stubborn) — fortunately there were two. Ultimately, my technical knowledge kicked in — put my foot down! At the end of the day, everyone went home alive. ... And at least they got the film halfway right!

Back on topic: If it’s any consolation, forum members are viewing your threads and latching onto everything you so kindly offer. … Now, want to paint all of my figures for me for free? … Just kidding! When I’m up to it, that’s part of the fun! 🎨

Cheers!🍺
