Ron's Top Modelling.....Don't worry, it's just a play on words!

[spanner570]

My wife bought me a home brew wine kit for Chrizzy, so we've been busy happily emptying 'Commercial' bottles in readiness for the re-filling with proper stuff!

When I was soaking off the labels, I came up with a fun challenge to see if I could make a passable vignette to go on top of the screw top.

The figures are Caesar Miniatures 1/72 U.S. Infantry, nicked from my 'Sniper' dio. The base is an excellent Chilean Red, topped with scrap bits n' bobs (stonework suitably scribed with a modelling knife) Gern's cocktail stick remnants , a bit of well ground down weetabix, and then painted with 'Poundshop' acrylics.

Here is the result. I hope you approve of this little bit of nonsense, folks.

Ha ha, there's no stopping you Ron, excellent work, as ever, and reminded me of some ridiculously small stuff I once saw in a museum, modelled in the eye of a needle!!!
