Les Conseils de L'Ancien

[lazyschnauzer]

This is another two figure vignette from a famous illustration. 120mm scale with some resin parts and about 80% sculpted from Magicsculpt. It's an old vet instructing a newbie in the ways of the trenches ca. 1915.

I've posted a close-up of the vignette. The base is a poorly constructed dug-in position with lots of debris. Painting, is underway, so all I have to show you is the various putty shades. Marc Megroot, a Dutch painter is working on it. In shipment the left hand of the vet was broken, so I'm replacing it with one a bit different. In the new hand, he'll be casually holding a pipe.

All the best,

Wow... making from Scratch is a challenge I would not ever attempt...

Good work indeed !

Thanks Chris! The whitish debris and lumpy bits are a bit deceiving. Keep in mind that this is a close-up. At "normal" size you wouldn't see those and anyway this shot is pre-sanding and steel wool smoothing.

All the best,
