Hi Monica, first I like the cows they are very well done the landscape is fantastic the bridge is exceptionally well designed and put together, the busted up cow shed looks very cool I have to say this is turning into a right little peach indeed cant wait to see what you will do next.

Monica this is looking reeeeally good. Personally I could imagine the soldiers wanting fresh milk and trying to get it from the cow. Keep up the good work.

well Monica I have just read the whole post and you are producing a brilliant piece I like the smoke effect , keep up the good work .

[Guest]

Heads & faces are always the hardest Monica, but you've done really well so far

 

[Guest]

I think you should leave it as is they look so good you could change the title. Ghostly late breakfast in France? or Now where did last see my head, it was over hear by these cows? or The attack of the head eating cows,,or Holy exploding teats Batman no one else try milking those cows ?No oh well it looks great keep up the good work

 

[spanner570]

I agree with Patrick, faces are hard to do. The only advise this face painting numpty can offer is don't overdo the eyes....Keep them sort of neutral with hardly any detail. I see so many with organ stop retinas!

 

[monica]

so glad you like it Steve, always nice to see words of encouragement from ever one, its real nice,

ta Patrick, / Ron your are both right , and good advice thats what i did try to do with them just a little touch up and leave them be,

I,m always to hard on myshelf with heads/faces,

oh I like that KP, a Ghostly late breakfast in France, would make it so much easy to do them headless germans,

 

[spanner570]

Please don't leave us all waiting too long to see this super diorama finished Monica......

Then we can turn our full attention to your 'Stalingrad' build.......
