Almost coinciding with the end of the year in which I won the Silver Brush in the 54th Painting Competition, I'm now posting images from different angles of the complete diorama that won me the prize. I hope you like them. :winky:

Excellent work Santi. Now, choose some other police unit for golden brush in 2026. :xd:

Thank you very much for your kind words, dear friends Enrico, Chris, Jan, Santi, Owen, Wiking and Dalibor, and a very happy new year to you all! :occasion:

That's right, Wiking, there are two mice. Although, judging by their size, I'd say they're more like two rats. :lol:

It's a very beautiful and detailed piece at this scale, Owen. In case you missed the thread I posted in the ‘Work in Progress’ section, it's from the manufacturer Balaton Modell:

I don't think I'll be ready in time for the 55th Painting Competition that's already been announced, Dalibor, but it's true that I have several projects underway that include other modern police or military units in peacetime. ;-)

I am looking forward. You have good chances to regain your brush! :thumbup:

Thank you for your confidence, Jan. Perhaps I can submit something for the 57th or 58th edition. :mrgreen:

Maybe it will take long enough to keep the contest running, that you can finish something just in time... :coffee:

I think the submission period for this edition will be as long as the previous one, Jan, so there will be plenty of time. :-D

However, as long as my current housing situation remains unchanged, I will have to continue working on my Royal Guard band project. And, if things go well, I would then have to finish the Swiss Guard project. :mrgreen:

And neither of them could be submitted to the painting competition, as you are all familiar with them already. :lol:

I'm sorry, Stephan, but I'm afraid it will have to remain a well-kept secret for quite some time yet. :mrgreen:
