A Rose Between Two Thorns

A quick story staring, Harlow, Boris, Anton, and George.

Good job the third chap turned up to break them up! Great positioning Sarah!

Thanks Dal, thr third guy is George, my brother hahaha. Real him loves seeing the antics that 1:6 him gets up to.

The brusier in the track suit is Boris, he is one of my made up characters. One of the Russians, boxes for a hobby.

The other fellow is Anton, Dmitris best mate, and a bit of a hothead but with a heart of gold. I'm hoping you will all see more of them in time to come!

Your boys play rough!

Nice posing in those action scenes.

The setting – now enhanced with Real Moss – enhances the sense of gritty realism to these street scenes, whether the crew is hanging out or duking it out.

It's these Eastern European guys, they're rowdy!

That wall has certainly come up well and is now a very realistic background that will be very useful in the future!
Nice little scene too!

I use very fine sawdust with a little green and yellow food colouring to a similar effect.
Everybody has a little sawdust lying around.
Mix it up to the desired colour, dry it out on sheets of newspaper and then PVA it to any surface.
I usually mix a little undyed sawdust into the coloured stuff to add some variation.

I’m really liking this picture story you’ve done RealSarahdactyl. All the urban outfits they are wearing are urbantastic

LeStryge, that's actually such a good idea! Now you mention it, looking at the modelers moss I have it makes perfect sense!

Prof Gangrene Fan, thanks, yeah I'm gradually trying to build their wardrobes. The Eastern European guys are always fun, mixing track pants with dress shoes and leather jackets. I suppose in a way some might think im poking fun, but I actually have an admiration for the style. Plus Adidas is a great brand.

Hey, glad you liked my idea!
 Came up with that way back when I was creating scenery for a mate's huge HO model train layout.
The build was just way too large to buy the expensive commercially available material, but in truth I think my stuff gave a better effect. And you can vary the colour to suit.

Anything that even hints of the Western fashion is hugely sought after in Russia!
Guys would approach me in the streets and in halting English or sometimes in sign language, literally offer to buy my jeans there and then!
(What I was subsequently meant to walk around in never seemed to cross their minds.)

Rowdy for sure...
Enjoyed your story...

LeStryge, so the story behind Russians and Adidas is interesting. In the 1980 Olympics the Soviet team used adidas, except the suits had two stripes rather than three and the logos were removed where they could be, to eliminate signs of the west. I guess with it being a fancy western product,  it stuck, and apread amongst the other Eastern countries. Thats funny these guys wanted to buy your jeans!

Thanks Inntruderr61!

Really nice work on the bricks and sidewalk, the moss looks great!!!

I'm not sure Boris is done...

Thanks Gibri! I think Boris just didn't like Anton being a hot head!

Art imitating Life Sarah? Lol Great stuff.

Well young Harlow seems to attract rambunctious Russian boys. However as shown in the second to last photo, she got her flowers and is totally unconcerned with everything else.
