Miniature Figures 1

|
The following pages contain images of
my
miniature figures, which I both sculpt and paint.
This vignette is entitled "Eye Deep In Hell".
It depicts a German
Stormtrooper attacking
a contested trench during the spring offensive
of 1918, during 'The Great War'. The scale
is
1/32; the figure is heavily modified from
a plastic kit, while the skeleton and
'environment' are scratchbuilt. A detailed
article
about its construction can be found
at the web site Digital Dioramas
.

"EYE DEEP IN HELL" The skeleton's
rib cage is
made of two-part epoxy putty, using bees' wax
as a form. Once set, the bees' wax was melted
away, leaving
the open rib cage.
