Operation "Epsom" details

[JRutman]

Thanks man. Yeah, the 1911s I was assigned had a substantial amount of sideways movement between the upper slide and receiver. But the barrel fit well into the slide so at least there was that. It still aimed well after you settled it down.

Atmosphere, tension – great stuff J and a very cool background, just right in tone & colours. Is it part of a larger backdrop or one-off for this scene?

[JRutman]

Thanks man. Pretty small backdrop actually and now over 2 years old. I did it for my casualty evac vignette way back then

That is yet more brilliant craftsmanship in that sculpting on the jerkin, all the folds, the stitching lines and the toggles are so well done. Lovely to see.

[G-man69]

I agree wholeheartedly with John, that battle jerkin is an outstanding piece of sculpting Jerry, .

G,

Splendid, simply splendid!

Outstanding work Jerry, I especially like the piper and the chap doing the highland fling, excellently animated…though foolhardy, .

Thanks Ski!!

Thanks G.
Well in my defense the dancer was during the movement to the start line and not during the advance.
