There's nothing so alarming as news of the Hun...
« on: November 08, 2016, 07:53:51 PM »
This is a little vignette of figures. One is from Wings Cockpit figures (see my earlier post) and the other is Model Cellar (that't the guy with the cane)
The head on this figure is one of two that came with the Wings figure.
The gun is a Lewis left over from a Wingnut kit and the concept is based on photo's I have seen in AFC photographs.
1/32 scale or 54mm depending on your taste!
Cheers,
Carpo

I absolutely agree with all the other positive comments. Very nice little vignette! Your paint job on the figures is brilliant.

Hi all, thanks for the kind words. I think the US election broke the internet and i haven't been able to reply.
Edo, the sign is an alps printer decal which I drew up on corel draw. I have attaced a photo of the original. I got the font pretty close but not perfect.
