Hi everyone,

Finally I have finished this long and overdue little vignette, and I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  I have to admit I am more satisfied with myself for putting my act together; that is sitting down and getting the work don3, than I am with the project itself to a certain extent.

I will be making an engraving for this vignette and it will be called:

Mater Lacrimarum
Optera V
Badab War

Mater Lacrimarum is the name of the Lamenter's flag ship that was ambushed and boarded by the Minotaurs and brutally ransacked.  It is what gave me the inspiration for this piece. 

Having said that, let's take a look at the pictures.  After all, I know that is what you all really want to see!





Here is a closer look at the energy effect sparking off the power grille.  I did this with water effects and clear green paint.  I thought that the scene needed something on the left side to balance off the Lamenter to the right.
Well, once again that is all for this week.  Next week I will start posting on my next project.  This is the WW2 diorama in 1/72 scale and is the project that has been languishing the longest on my Shelf of Shame.

Until then farewell and good health,
