"All the palace windows were smashed, and inside it was a ruin.."

"It was dark and dirty, and everything was covered with cobwebs.....

"But the Soldier was determined to deal with the devils...."

"...and sat down to wait for them to arrive."

"The hours crawled by...."

"Then the clock struck midnight...."

"....and there was a great rustling and flurry of wings, as the devils suddenly arrived.

'We have a visitor!'"

The mood is perfect! I love his weather-beaten jacket. Such an excellent story!

Thanks. I was really happy with how the photos turned out.

Lawrence is borrowing the jacket from the original soldier doll, and the wrist guards from Jude, but I had to make him a new shirt to go underneath. It's from a dull knobby silk, and must have shrunk when I wet it in order to shape it, so it's a good thing he doesn't need to breathe or he'd pop all the snaps.

The atmosphere is truly eerie and perfect for this tale. In the final photo you can almost hear the music that would be playing if this were a movie. It makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Lovely story. Gorgeous hands and dreamy face. Clothing as usual has lots of detail. You little people are so lucky to have their own personal dresser.

Thanks. He's my favourite of my guys this size, and is usually the King in my Medieval Fantasy world, but is taking time out to deal with the devils in this story.

Lawrence is perfection as the soldier. All the details, background, costuming - and of course, the little devils - are incredible.

i remember watching this tale and it was one of my favorites of the series. How delightful to see your version!
