Already an outstanding piece of work, and then by adding the backdrop, it became even better!🍺

I completely agree with everything said though with one reality-check: hard to imagine a sniper team choosing such an obvious hide. My uncle served during WW2 and survived to tell by NOT taking the obvious or identifiable positions as they catch the eye and lead to lethal retaliatory fire. He often selected as many as three or more hides before picking the one to use and then exfiltrated a completely different way. Standing outlined on a ridge by a landmark would have proven a one-time mistake. Nice work on the figures and background photo, though.

Very nicely done, the background pulls everything together. Perfect

What they said, a real gem & I don’t see a situational problem with it. This pair’s nowhere near ready to pick their spot for the very reason they’re outlined against the ridge line, they’re checking out better sites some distance ahead

Thank you all for the kind words. Much appreciated.

I like the binocular figure's hands, very natural looking. What set is he from ?

Hi Alex,
Old Dragon kit No. 6177. I believe it was re-released at some point.
