[MOC] South From Gettysburg

[evancelt]

As the 6th Maine headed south away from Gettysburg, Corporal Breckinridge spotted a huge blasted tree trunk that must have caught artillery fire.

He smiled and thought to himself, “That must have been a big tree!”.

It was the first time he had smiled since the battle had ended.

This is a beautiful and well-built landscape with new ideas.

I'm... stumped!

[Professor Thaum]

Mmmmmh, I'm a little bit puzzled by thoses flowers.

That tree stump is really great !

[BrickJagger]

That withered evergreen in the back is nicely done. Neat SNOT usage as well!

[MontyMatte]

A nice little moment you captured. Very well done. Love both trees.

Thanks @NOD! Thought it would be fun to knock out a little build in a few hours

Quite blocky flowers, right?

Thanks!

Thanks! I grabbed a PAB cup of those clip tiles in sand green a while back and figured they would have a use!

Thanks! Hoping to repurpose the base for a Native American build at a show this weekend.

Good idea. What a show?

Beautiful scene, the cut stump of the big tree is fantastic!

Displayed a variant of this build along with some others at FanExpo Denver this past weekend:

Really cool build and quite inspiring. Where did you get the printed arm from?

Thanks! The chevrons are just a little sticker I printed onto Avery shipping labels

Nice work Evancelt, beautiful tree-leftover (it's something I'll keep in mind) 😃, I like the you did the baseplate!

[kchan98]

Looks good! Is that a sticker for the rank on the arm?

Thanks! It's fun to mix up base styles and these sideways SNOT ones are very quick and add interesting textures
