Barely begun, but I figured I'd rush and get an illustration into the Sunday morning edition.

Nice ! I keep looking at 1/72- 20mm all I need to do is find a period I fancy that I don't do in another scale.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Finding an appealing period you don't already do? That sounds like a challenge!
Deletewhoa. Them thar's a mighty impressive lot o' troops(!). As J.J. would say, they look "Dyyyynnnn-O-MITE!!"
ReplyDeleteCan get kinda crowded on the little table when the rest come out.
DeleteI probably shouldn't ask and don't really want to know but who/what is JJ?
Having a painted backdrop certainly enhances the photos. I really like the scene in the first photo, it looks absolutely splendid.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It began as an impukse when I had a little light blue house paint left over and has been enhanced slightly from time to time. Its now in the queue for a major upgrade.
DeleteBrilliant looking set-up and start to the action. A joy to view, as ever.
