Wood chopping fatigue detail

 





To celebrate getting my basement back in order, I painted  some figures to depict soldiers cutting down trees on the edge of the forested area on Phase I area. 


The lumber jacks are figures by the Aspen Modeling Company.
I did some mild conversions to them by swapping heads and shaving down details that did not look correct for the civil war. I painted them to look like soldiers on a fatigue detail (work party).

    I really like the close-ups of the backdrops & how the foreground trees transition to the painted scenery. Very nice.
