To hold a scratchbuilt pipe, Tony rescuplted the left arm of a 54mm 1870 Prussian army soldier from Michael Roberts and painted it with Reaper, Jo Sonja, and others over black primer. He placed the veteran NCO on Vallejo groundwork atop foam. He says it depicts a battle-hardened soldier stopping to a smoke when he hears a noise. Was it the rat near the butt of his rifle or the enemy hiding behind the ruined wall?
