Bring Ammo!

Yes, That Gebirgsjäger is trotting past a Purple wheelbarrow.
Why it's there and why it's purple I'm not sure. I do know that some Northern-European houses tend to be bright, perhaps they had some shutter paint left over. Who ever was digging in that dirt left in a hurry when the shooting started! Left their barrow and shovel!









Sorry about the focus, as you can see my photography skills have not improved any more than my modelling skills have!

Re: Bring Ammo!

Thanks Nick, I was actually thinking of you when I painted it...... contrasting colour to the earthtones ...... 'artsy' stuff I learned from you - like that.

Thanks,
rb

Re: Bring Ammo!

Nick, you and I are usually like two peas in a pod on the Artistic stuff, but that darned wheelbarrow is just way too out there for me.....it's positively glaring.

Re: Bring Ammo!

Well you either like it or you don't. The wife and kids kinda hated it. My jury is still out on it ..... not sure wether I like it or not.

Re: Bring Ammo!

I like it.

I have a bright orange (plastic) wheelbarrow.

Hey man... I didn't paint it!
I like the contrast. I don't want to get too 'Artsy' here but I think it makes a great juxtaposition (eh? eh?) against the earth tones and the guy's uniform. If I'd done this, I would have included some flowers of the same colour in the dio.
Peace.
