Tim,
Thoroughly deserved win mate, I would have expected nothing less. Outstanding as always.

Thanks very much! Obviously it's not the glory we are after - just the warm inner glow of contentment...

 

[TIM FORSTER]

A well deserved win.
Pete

Wow !!!,
TIM FORSTER , I've just spent a while going back over this thread and it's absolutely brilliant how you've created this, words don't do it enough justice.
Your attention to even the smallest detail is to be commended, it's certainly a dio to be more than proud of.
Congrats on the win, it's more than deserving of such an award.

Wow Tim that's a real tour de force!
I love all the little details like the scuff marks on the barn doors and the birds taking flight.
Beautifully conceived and superbly executed!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys...

Anyone looking back over this thread may notice a few rogue images (mostly cars for some reason) - the result of this site's recent platform change. I am trying to delete them (and maybe by the time you read this I will have succeeded!)

I will post a few more pictures, but first I just have to add one more figure...





This guy is based on a Dragon figure from the 352nd Volksgrenadier Division (Ardennes 1944) set (lower left):



I think the head is from Royal Models (it was rolling around my spares box). To me it gives him more of the look of a veteran. Interestingly, this is the first time I have ever used any rifle other than a Kar 98k. This is the Gewehr 43. It looks heavy!

Here he is after some paint...
