Nice old photos, and it makes a change to see some of these infamous characters lighter side, people with possibly extreme political views but people all the same.

In our next thrilling instalment, I want to upload photos of the sprocket/running gear areas of our models along with the real thing (probably my favourite area of the vehicle), so if you guys have any such photos good or bad, post them and we can edit a few and lets see what we come up with!

Heres a taster

Testing testing

Well that was touch and go, when the file to be loaded starts loading at 3% then the chances are it wont load before it times out.
I shall send one at a time for now , here's another.

This was the inspiration for the shoot, and I did get chance to sweep the workshop floor while it was clear

That's a great diorama Phil, and you have posed those figures well. I have loads of original photos that I have collected and would like to do dioramas of them. it just never seems to happen.

I Like this photo!

Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words as ever, we are spoilt with theses kits as the level of detail is good anyway, which helps no end with putting a diorama together, but you have to be realistic, thats a great photo of the Panther laden with snow, but..... what a bugger to reproduce and with a building to! All the same just grab a couple of buckets of your props and your pride and joy and have a shoot already , take loads of pics and trim it all down and edit when you get a minuet on the laptop. regards Phil.

Panzer column from the same photo shoot

Nice pics; especially the last one!

Thanks Gerhard , heres a couple more.

I just had to pop this great photo in first uploaded by John. When you study the damage to the sprocket, not the tooth ring, thats easily repairable, the outer ring of the casting is mighty thin and deformed and would need to be changed out for a whole new sprocket (that would be a mornings work) so this repair looks like the crew are attempting to sort the problem them selves by simply replacing that sprocket ring and so have a mobile Tiger to get back for more permanent repair.
The damage could have been caused by a mine, but most probably a projectile from an anti tank gun.
I have included a photo and video of one of my range targets that has had a similar hit. . Please don,t try this at home, just enjoy the video

That photo has so much atmosphere. You can allmost hear him grunting with the effort and muttering " shift you ******".

Great photo period.

John

I think that these Bergepanther crew compartment photos might be worth posting in real or fake, these are my favourites. I especially like the black and white.

Tis the weekend

Does anybody know anything about this early Tiger1 in the last photo?
