    A lovely day for a war.

    I'd like this one to show the irony of this world by juxtaposing a beautiful garden wall draped in greenery and flowering vines (if I can swing them) with a couple of willows set just inside of it
    against the ugly, beastly machine of death, destruction and mans frustrations.

    Wish I had more time to do step by step IP threads, just too busy I guess.
    Suffice it to say I shall put in another update or two before completion, thanks for looking in.
    Sorry for the lousey pics, was in a bit of a rush :confounded:

    Jim,
    Off to a great start, did you make the wall or is it bought.

                Got wall mostly done, forgot to paint axe...oh well.
                prepping tree for just inside wall hanging a bit over lower section.

                Having fun doing this one, a bit different from my usual gore :flushed:
                All greenery is from literally steps from my front porch, except for blades of gassy weeds which are snips from an old paint brush.

                Hope you like progress so far.

                Jim.

                    Hi Jim looks very convincing to me, love how the cobbles go in different directions, very good indeed.

                            Hi Jim.
                            Some nice stone sets, and the pattern. Like the idea of the set, from one extreme to another.
                            And no bodies ........ Yet:flushed:
                            John.
