2018 marked 100 years since the end of the First World War, a war which is forgotten by todays generation. So in this project I used my Airfix figures to create black and white imagery to portray the horros of the First World War. While most of the images are inspired by actual images created on the front lines, I also created a book where I showed the story of the Christmas Truce.
