Hi Alexander. The idea was taken from a photo in a book of the rider pushing his motorcycle through the mud in Russia. Unfortunately I don't have access to the photo anymore to show you

Really nice "rapustitsa" scene, 👍
But IMHO, I hope you don't mind me saying, would prefer to see it wet (maybe a bit of satin or gloss varnish and darker colours in the mud)? 🤔

Don't mind you saying at all Rui. There are some wet areas but it could probably do with some more. I only dabble in armour/military subjects and my diorama skills are a bit lacking!

Hi Dave,
I don't see any bit of lacking skills here (much the contrary).
The Vignette is very well executed. 👍
I just mentioned the only thing I see, that could have been done to improve it even more😎.
If the motorcyclist is so deepened in the mud this means that it is very wet.
I've some photos with German motorcycles in the Rapustitsa. and some looks very similar to what you've depicted.

Cheers guys, thanks for the comments. It is also at least 10 years old so maybe I can hope that my skills have improved since then......🙂

😄😄 I thought it wouldn't be that accurate. It was the best I could come up with at the time with my limited German. Out of interest what would the right expression be?

Polyfilla mixed with oil paint. Polyfilla is used in the UK to fill cracks in walls before painting

"Bitte recht freundlich!" Is what germans say, when they mean "say cheese". 😄 LOL Sweet ´lil vignette, Dave! I like it.👍

"Bitte lächeln!" (please smile) would fit to the scenery pretty good since it would sound a little bit teasing towards the unfortunate situation of the guy...

Cheers guys. I might make a new label for it but now I've got a decision to make🤔🤔 What is the translation for the first one Holger?

Dave, "Bitte recht freundlich" says "please be quite kind" but it means "please smile"
I would leave the label as it is! Definately a showstopper for germans!😢

Cheers Holger. I'll follow your advice and leave it as it is then👍

Definitely leave it as it is! It adds a little....uniqueness😄
