Here are a few images of the first vignette that I did 3 years or so year ago.It is set to a Wehrmacht theme and was started months after the SS one that I am still plugging away on.Here are a few images of the Wehrmacht one,note that the base is not the same and much larger.Mrosko

Wow....now that is how to build a brick wall. One brick at a time!

That is 1/35 right?

Amazing stuff Chris. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome as always, Chris!

One little nit-pick -- in the last photo, we can see where the walls join and there are no overlapping bricks, just a straight seam down the side of the corner -- or is that wall the guy is climbing a double wall? Looks like it in the unpainted pics, but can't tell in the final ....

Awesome!

Bob both of the vignettes have double brick walls/firewalls,but on the other hand there are a few little boo-boo's here and there. Mrosko

P.S. Bob this area is also where I cut the vignette off ,I had to limit the size of base,so there is always a weak spot somewhere.Thanks... Mrosko

Great stuff Chili..

Are we going to see it at AMPS?

That guy in the middle is one of my fave figures of all time.
How do you get such hard lines on the 'splinter ' cammo??

Mine always used up all... well, rounded and blurry looking...

Wow this is cool. Chris is this the master for the original Warriors kit ? Your painting on that Wehrmacht splinter pattern is outstanding ! Can't wait to see what your Waffen SS version will look like

Be sure to say hello to Julie and Heidi at VLS for me

Cheers !
