Wow. Crinkled up some fir needles from the Christmas tree, put a couple rounds from my M1 into a tree stump to hear the clip hit the ground, and checked out your photos. All senses covered. Except for the nervous fear these guys must have felt. Nicely done, good sir.

What a great little scene… Just 3 figures but it gives a sense of the whole thing… The closeness of the forest, the gloom, mist. Glad his trigger finger is outside the guard as well… Don’t want any unintentional discharges … :+1::+1:

Very nice! Is this a box dio? It reminds me of Shep Paine’s work.

And a Merry Christmas to you as well! I guess I could always go for a ride in the middle of this coming storm in order to pucker up the fear factor. Be safe! And keep the power on,

Very atmospheric scene Jerry. The murk and muted green and brown tones of a winter pine forest is captured so well. A really interesting moment to capture in miniature too- the poses and the looks on their faces are up to your usual high standards.

Last summer we visited the Ardennes (again) and after that I started reading into the battle. I started with the excellent books by Christer Bergström. Those are excellent, well researched books and well worth reading. From my own observations and the descriptions in the literature, it is my opinion that you managed to capture the atmosphere very well!!!

You too Jerry!

Thanks buddy ! Glad you liked it. If you get the chance you should read the Duel in the Mist series. One of the best concerning the actions around LaGleize, etc.
