So I thought since brown on brown doesn’t show too well on camera I would throw up a couple of pictures to show were I’m at with this.
so as I was leaving Hope Castle I noticed this on a wall and decided to take a picture, when I got home it was a few days before I remembered to look him up, during that time I was already thinking about painting a gun team up for Dicky Boyd and Pete Barfield’s Remembering the Armistice group but that changed once I had read up on Thomas.
Prior to receiving his VC in London. I based the idea for the diorama on this newspaper illustration but the objective was to get it finished for today and with free time being short I went for a simplified version, so I didn’t have time to cut and resculpt the leg of his trousers or change the Germans in any way, the idea of scratch building the wall went in favour of a couple of Fogou’s lovely pieces that gave the impression.
Here’s what I currently have, I will go back in the next couple of weeks and do some work on the men themselves, but for a piece rushed together over a couple of nights free time it isn’t a bad start.
