Excellent work, but I'm thinking you've given it too much green, made it look friendlier than it was .. just my opinion.

You could spend 36 hours on one of these restorations and there will always be someone with different views.

The aim is to achieve a realistic look and uniforms were green.

Good effort but all the colours are crap/wrongly located... practice harder.

I still think SkullFudge has brought the picture to life with the use of colours. Great work.

I had a long think about the sky and I do agree the b/w looks better but you need to understand I am governed by what the client wants.

I've heard several old boys on TV talking about WW1 & WW2 and several times they say when you are surrounded by death & war the sky is the only thing that never changes. You could look up and feel back home.

I do put much though into these but everyone will ask or has different views on how certain things should be.

I was thinking more of the sides.

That's because everything was b/w back then, colour in life only really happened in the early 1960's

Thats what I thought... Looks like western front and soldiers uniform looks correct for that period.
