... I noticed that right after I took this bunch of pics. It is amazing how much all of the black painted areas really popped under these light conditions. I am not really happy with the dark wash areas on the wall. Someone a long time back in this build suggested I enhance the wash and I listened. I should always stay with my first guy feeling maybe and not listen ?

Hmmm ... listens too well in class? 🤔
Still looks amazing, Jerry! And besides, that should be an easy fix. You're not too busy these days ... right? Lol!

Great to see this piece pop up on the radar again!

Hi Jerry ,

well i guess this is why i'm such a big fan of your work . Excellent painting skills combined with your knowledge how to put up a battle scene ,it makes you a true artist in military modeling .

Congratulations buddy !

Wow.

So glad to see this resurface in completed form. It's fantastic, the darker photos in particular capture the feel of it (naturally).
Without wishing to labour the point, the flashlight.....
The poses, the details.... it's readily apparent what's going on.

Excellent stuff

I bumped this up because some folks were asking about it at the AMPS convention this year. I humbly admit I won a Gold in the Advanced cat.for Vignettes.
Grateful and humbled,

Seeing this one at the show was worth the admission price and the five hour drive. Thanks so much for bringing your mini-buddies to the show! And, thanks for your service! (Forgot to tell you that in all the excitement)

Thanks guys for the nice comments. It was great talking to you at the show. I enjoyed myself there way more than I usually do at those things. Hanging out with Taesung Harms from Alpine after the first day was also cool. Him and his buddies can sure knock them back. I couldn't keep up ! LoL
I got to put faces with a lot of names I just knew from the flickering screen !
