I have commented on this vignette when originally posted
as EXCELLENT!

Now the additional photography and addition of the background
really takes it to another level...WOW!

The best winter vignette I have ever seen...all the elements
are just perfect!

Cheers,

Already an outstanding piece of work, and then by adding the backdrop, it became even better!🍺

I completely agree with everything said though with one reality-check: hard to imagine a sniper team choosing such an obvious hide. My uncle served during WW2 and survived to tell by NOT taking the obvious or identifiable positions as they catch the eye and lead to lethal retaliatory fire. He often selected as many as three or more hides before picking the one to use and then exfiltrated a completely different way. Standing outlined on a ridge by a landmark would have proven a one-time mistake. Nice work on the figures and background photo, though.

What they said, a real gem & I don’t see a situational problem with it. This pair’s nowhere near ready to pick their spot for the very reason they’re outlined against the ridge line, they’re checking out better sites some distance ahead

I like the binocular figure's hands, very natural looking. What set is he from ?

Hi Alex,

Old Dragon kit No. 6177. I believe it was re-released at some point.
