Last week I was faced with the prospect that I was not going to get my MP project done. The WC57 was giving me fits 
the figures were not done. The base was not started and time had just slipped away. Not willing to surrender :fencing and having a day off last Friday the thought came over me to combine this project with another as in R.O.T. RECON from the Earth 2111 forum. So I set to work and last night I finished a figure dio using the well. I am sorry that the other project did not pan out and I hope my mulligan will save my Monroe Perdu bacon. So here goes there are a lot of pictures. I will try and explain as we go. Thanks for looking. Comments and reprimands are welcome.

First I prepared the base to which I applied some stuff called oven bake clay.
Next I traced where the well would go and removed the clay from that area.
I put the well in the cut out area and leveled it.
I choose to make the area around the well cobble stone pavement. I used lentals to make this. I read about using those somewhere :hmmm .
After letting the base bake in the oven for about 30 minutes I did some preliminary figure placement.
While the base was baking I did some finish work to my armored suits.
After baking I set to work finishing the base. Painting the cobblestones.
Painting and shading the well
Here is the finished well with more weathering and some grass added. The armored dudes have been added.
Here's a closer view the dull coat has not been added yet.
Dull coat applied. Now I'm ready for the final figure.
For my last figure I used a Warriors "Northern Alliance figure. I thought it would fit into our "Earth 2111" story line pretty good. I used both oils and acrylics to paint him up.
Here is how everything came out.
If my mulligan effort is ok with the powers that be. I will present this as a completed project. Once again I'm sorry the other project didn't workout.
