An absolute must as the iconic centrepiece of my planned Stalingrad Mega Battle.
A surprisingly simple and enjoyable paint, which I am really pleased with, especially as the decorative lime plaster look that I have given the figures stands, out quite separately from the concrete rendered brick base.
The model is from Warlord Games, and is a superb adornment for the center of any tabletop Battle for Stalingrad!
Its official name is Children’s Khorovod, it depict six children dancing around a crocodile. It survived the war and was restored but was removed in the 1950s. A replica was installed at the original site for the 23 August 2013, 71st anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad.
