Deadly Ambush, Normandy,1944

Just before the year 2006 comes to a close, here's a preview of another vignette in its preliminary stages of planning that I'm concurrently working on for another collector. The figures are from Alpine Miniatures set 35022, swapped with Hornet heads. To add more dynamism to an otherwise linear composition, I elevated the position of the gunner and changed the angle of the left foot of the commander figure so as to position him on the edge of a ravine/ditch. Note the subtle raising of the gunner at an opposing angle from the commander to suggest him engaging a target from his concealed position at a lower ground.



Happy New Year!
