EK 1939 Badges of valour

[Daniel A]

Hello,

This is my first posting. My interest in military matters is closely related to my interest in historical modelling.

This is probably a little off topic, but I hope you will allow me showing this figure vignete, where the Iron Cross 2nd class features prominently. This is the kind of modelling I do.

It is a vignette protraying a couple of paratroopers celebrating their new EKII awards in an Italian Trattoria. It is not intended to represent actual personalities, it was deliberately designed as a generic scene.

Figures are major conversions of Elisena's 54 mm German paratrooper and Afrika Korps infantryman, which I did myself; and my friend Jaume Ortiz instilled them life with his brushes.

Hope you like it.

The original figures, for you to have an idea of the work involved:

Any comments welcome.

Daniel,

GREAT JOB!!! Excellent detail!! I do the 1:35 scale military miniatures and I know the amount of concentration it takes to do these right. In the future please post them in the forums military modelling section: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showforum=118.
