Hola gente!

I want tho share my last work.
It is a little 3-figure vignette, made only for fun, and not totally pursuing historic accuracy.
I used a mix of Tamiya and Masterbox parts with some replacement heads.
The pot, the sign and the prickly pear are totally scratchbuilt.
The church is the veteran Italeri kit, recycled from a horrible diorama that I built during a distant in time youth.
There is a lack of debris, because I wanted to depict an ancient abandoned ruin, not a bombed church.
Hope you like it.
Cheers!

Nice work, I like it. I love the sign too, did you copy that from a photo?

@Stephen Yes, i saw those signs in an old photo, so i cropped and edited them in photoshop and print them in regular paper. Then I applied one layer of satin and one of matt varnish over them and glue it to a piece of thin plasticard.
@Jerry Thanks mate! I really appreciate it.

Cheers

Cool. I must try something like that myself. I like how you've used the old Italeri church, it dies look like an old ruin.
