Hi Jerry,

Missed most of the build I'm afraid, inspirational stuff, excellent ground work, figure alterations and painting. Always a real pleasure to view you work. The action looks full on, hats off to you.

Cheers

Jerry,
First of all, Congrats on the completion of a First Rate work of art! To echo what everyone has clearly stated: WOW!

My issue seems to be the finishing of an idea; inspiration from historical event(s), intent to share a story, studying the subject and collection of the necessary bits, and naturally giving the time required to come to an end.

So as others have said Jerry, yours is truly inspiring and I try to follow your "work" whenever I can find it.
I've picked up some great tips (Conor is right about your treatment of OD tints and tones), and thanks to your inspiration it's back to the stash and SOD to try to finally finish something and share an ol' idea or two myself.
Thanks Again
Signed A Lurker

Sincerely,
Dave

That's what it's all about buddy!
Sharing is caring, stealing (creatively of course) is the dearest form of flattery, etc

I've only recently got back into it, and honestly your comment about lurkers not being too shy, I felt it right here, ya know!?
But seriously, your work is appreciated, and your attitude is spot on bruddah...
I really related to your comment re vehicles as center-points of interest w/ figgies as clutter -vs- figures telling the story thru human expression and personal action w/ vehicles as backdrop or complimentary pcs.
sorry maybe

Chers
Dave

Oh yes
We're all in it together, right, just from varying backgrounds of interest. This is some spot-on dio/vignette you have created make no mistake.
Personally your work represents what I can strive for, hit or miss. Because you have a supportive nature, like teaching, the experience becomes the inspiration. One can draw from it many different things. ex: Just reading (listening to) your exchange w/ other Vets or Servicemen is enlightening to those who maybe came from an artistic bkgrnd, or someone from a military family but didnt actually serve, or whoever.
Please continue Jerry, and Thank You.

cheers
Dave

Well done, man!
It is not often that you such a dramatic scene with just a handful of figures. This way both the figures and the landscape get the attention they deserve.
