This is something i started on in June with the sculpting of the three figures. I decided to go for a urban theme for the figures with the building of the factory ruin and also for a winter atmophere with frost instead of snow to achieve this, for this purpose i used stretched clear spue for the icicles and silver glitter glue for the frost effect. All painted with acrylics except for some oil washes on the concrete and the tankers leather jacket. All comments and critique welcomed, Steve     |

This looks great. You did a tremendous job on the sculpting, the uniforms look very realistic. The composition is also nice to see. The cold atmosphere is spot on. A number one piece in the display case. G. |

Anthony...Good to hear from you mate hows things ? glad you like them and it was quite a nice change to do something german. Drop me a mail sometime mate so we can catch up. Mark...I am glad to get this one out of the way as i have a 54mm vignette on the go which im eager to get stuck into, as for the young german yes he is waiting to be painted although he is 90mm as aposed to my usual 120mm, hopefully i will start him soon. All the best guys, Steve |

Excellent 3-D utilization of space Steve. The broken floor giving a glimpse of the basement below is a very nice touch and the icicles look..burrr....cold. The figgies are well proportioned. Nice details especially the scarf on the chap on the right. Lovely work Steve. |

This is odd ? I replied and nothing to see !? So I do it again. I like these figures ! The expressions are very lifelike. The way they're painted is nice too, like the color combinations. The diorama is built up with good thinking. Congrats ! One for the display case ! |

looks like I missed your latest Steve friend, I quite like the vertical layout of your scene, and a good logical whole about the icy colours, nice attempt to do the ice too! Scarf and details are quite nicely painted.. I still see a lot of progress everytime you post something new, and that one is no exception  |
