      John - lucky break on the family history, must be very nice. The nearest we have to that is a historian wrote a book which included the very old farmhoue we lived in during the 1060's. Apparently whwn it was built the ground floor rooms would have house the cattle, with the family living abovd them - warm but possibly a bit smelly!

      Paul, thanks. i will definately finish it, I'm just swapping between projects to keep it fresh and stop me getting bored or trying to rush finishing it.

      Monica - thank for the support.

        At long last - an update. i have finally found time to continue this project, and have added the third figure.

          Abiding memory looking at photos is trees which have been decimated leaving half a trunk. Plus parts of clothing hanging from what is left of the tree.

          Also large holes where bombs have landed.

              Hi Guys

              A little more progress - the fourth figure, approaching along what I think could be a communication trench. In addition I have taken onboard Laurie's comment and added a broken tree (thanks Laurie). I am pleased with it, it adds another aspect of the Western Front and it does improve the composition. The ground work around it needs some work but that can be for tonight, along with another figure - only two more to go!

                That really is looking very good indeed.

                It looks stunning now. Can only imagine what it looks like once finished.

                All the best.
