Now that the main characters have been painted, it is time to start with the base. Here is the step by step with thoughts on base composition and visual weight:

Thanks Günter!

To be honest... in this case I wrote my notes in English for the peopel reading the blog, but... When I build the Pointe du Hoc table I found that Imhad made all my notes in English. Possibly since most of the research for it had been done in English. When I do something in English my brain switches to English. Same when I am on holiday, reading an English book or watching an English movie. My brain just switches language. I can not explain why. Same right now... I am not thinking in German. :o
