I'm getting quite sick of seeing vignettes that are obviously inspired by my work, and not receiving credit.

Technically it wasn't, you had no idea what was going through my head at the time, but I did get the bloody torso idea from you, but the rest of the vig just kinda came together. I just wanted to make a WWII vig, so I made a base, some detail and eventually made a soldier being shot, so I'm deeply sorry I didn't give you credit, for the part you played in the making of this vig.

I'm not really trying to be mean or anything, obxcrew, but you don't know if that was inspired by your vig's.
Anyways, cool vig. It's kind of cliche:A guy going to a place gets shot. Seen it a lot. The scenery, on the other hand, left me breathless. It actually looks organic.

I have to agree with xmrsmoothx. Perhaps you could try one more guy next to him, or a medic about to help him.

But the scenery, thats what made me post. It's perfect, like the way you made the sand thats closer to water darker. Great work.

Yes I agree. The scenery is amazing on this little vig! I also like the posing of the fig. Great job!

Nice vig jhawker! Love the, I think it's, water!

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?

Why is it that everyone makes vigs of a American soldier getting shot?But that is good though!

TLC just kinda makes good torsos and heads that compliment a minifig's BrickArms.

The technique of balancing a Trans-Red Tile on the butt of Garand against a minifig torso is, as far as I know, my original idea. It's just nice to give credit where credit is due; I've told you this before.

But anyway, no hard feelings.
