Description
As I was working on this piece, I thought about all the many hours I spent as a kid, making 1/32 millitary models. Many wonderful hours building, painting, covering things in mud!
Then I got an IM from Forevernyt...in which he requested a plastic "Army men" version. Brilliant! Hadn't even occured to me!
So this one is for you big guy! For your inner kid.
Hope everyone has a long relaxing Sunday!

Cool render looks pretty authentic.
Well done :) You have captured the spirit of it perfectly . When I was younger,, ( how ever many years ago that was...lol) the boys in the neighborhood used to get started on these things then revert to their BB guns and chase all of the girls ...LOL... Memories :P Great designing !!~*****~!!
Really very cool!!!!Bravissimo!:DDD.Hugsxxx
Boy-O-Boy, this sure brings back some great childhood memories..:) thans.
Great stuff Eric!
I used to play with them with my brother! Brings back great memories.
Nice scene Eric, love the way youve left all the buildings grey and just coloured the tank and soldiers.
Somehow this looks more real - like a real model!
Hahahaha!!! What a cool transformation! I must have had a million 'troops', all mixed with cowboys & indians and medieval figures. My brother and I staged some strange battles. This is perfect!
Well, I know that boys like to play with war...but when you know what is really war then you will never even play with it! Unfortunatelly not a long time ago we had war here and since then I can't even look movies on TV with that theme. But this is a excellent done image, my friend! So, I have to say bravo!!!!
clever idea! great job
beautifully done ! wonderful ruins !
Great stuff! Er....we had lead soldiers as children.....I don't suppose there is any chance?....hehe
Man I had two of those tubs you bath babies in full of toy solders like these when I was a kid lol spent hours playing with thme. Its funny how we love the navy and army when kids but now so sick of war you would think we would both be Generals or something right now lol Excellent work more of this series please
Well you can call it the AIRFIX series. I used to do models to!
"There are no lions," said Harvey. "Here is another civilian, Robert Raikes, the founder of Sunday schools, and here is a model of a municipal wash-house. These little round things are loaves backed in a sanitary bakehouse. That lead figure is a sanitary inspector, this one is a district councillor, and this one is an official of the Local Government Board." "What does he do?" asked Eric wearily. "He sees to things connected with his Department," said Harvey. "This box with a slit in it is a ballot-box. Votes are put into it at election times." "What is put into it at other times?" asked Bertie. "Nothing. And here are some tools of industry, a wheelbarrow and a hoe, and I think these are meant for hop-poles. This is a model beehive, and that is a ventilator, for ventilating sewers. This seems to be another municipal dust-bin -- no, it is a model of a school of art and public library. This little lead figure is Mrs. Hemans, a poetess, and this is Rowland Hill, who introduced the system of penny postage. This is Sir John Herschel, the eminent astrologer." "Are we to play with these civilian figures?" asked Eric. "Of course," said Harvey, "these are toys; they are meant to be played with." "But how?" It was rather a poser. "You might make two of them contest a seat in Parliament," said Harvey, "and have an election --" "With rotten eggs, and free fights, and ever so many broken heads!" exclaimed Eric. "And noses all bleeding and everybody drunk as can be," echoed Bertie, who had carefully studied one of Hogarth's pictures. "Nothing of the kind," said Harvey, "nothing in the least like that. Votes will be put in the ballot-box, and the Mayor will count them -- and he will say which has received the most votes, and then the two candidates will thank him for presiding, and each will say that the contest has been conducted throughout in the pleasantest and most straightforward fashion, and they part with expressions of mutual esteem. There's a jolly game for you boys to play. I never had such toys when I was young." [Saki, "The Toys Of Peace"]
This is even better than the last one, excellent work!
:lol: I remember my Grandson playing with these things, they were everywhere but nothing this elaborate. Perfect image for Nyt, I love it.

Excellent idea & realisation!!! thats just like in my young years!! Boom! paf! pan!! WonderfuLL !!!
when I was a kid, always wanted the burned-out village accessory
the ole green men versus the blue men soldiers. I never had any action figures.I only had some play trucks from the Salvation Army. I do not think there was any available anyhow, only girl's dolls
this cool. I did the same thing as a child and if I had firworks blow them all up lol
This is great, nice work, I wanted to have my brothers soldiers to play with, but was relegated to having horrid dolls hehe!!...Cath xx
your previous post definately had that feel to it, very nice.......!
Had them soldiers too, all mixed together, medieval knights and cavallery and cowboys and so on... :) Great idea to transform the scene in that way and now it's really well done, looks like a real set! Now we can play the generals (or is it more like politicians nowadays?) Great picture!
Atlantics... All my childhood! Thanks so much for this "fontaine de jouvence"
Wow look at the comments great work! Only one suggestion for the original the atmosphere works but for the Army men edition I would turn it off or change it a bit. Again great work!
