"Goodbye", August 1914 (54mm scale)

[HamilkarBarkas]

Hi guys
This is my latest figure (my third piece about WW1 this year) it shows a Bavarian cavalryman of the 2nd heavy cavalry regiment "Landshut" in August 1914 shortly before he travels to the front lines of the First World War. The scene shows one last goodbye to his son on the street infront of the train station.
The white metal figures are from Hecker & Goros, the level of detail is good. The faces on their figures tend to look a bit cartoonish from time to time, but i don´t mind that.
The figures are painted with acrylic paints from Revell and Lifecolor. The shading was created with acrylic washes. The base is a little wood block covered with a section of MiniArt´s cobble stone street. The newspaper on the street was printed on a PC.

A video is already edited, but not yet uploaded. I don´t feel like spaming my own YT channel at the moment
