Very neat Duke. Another example of how everything doesn't have to be Combat.

Duke, great stuff mate, reminds me of some old war movies. I also like the forced perspective you have achieved in the different shots.

Thanks for the kind words Wayne, PA, OD, Mitch and Guy. I thought I would do something a little different and away from the front lines. The Pub/Inn from WB is a great piece. I just got it in and think I'll be able to use it for many scenes in the future. This was a quick and easy set up taking just minutes to put together.... the WB Pub/Inn, then some JG Miniatures cobblestone street sections, and the K&C Tilly and figures.

Thanks Wayne and Tom.

Tom, the light in the window was actually a total accident! I noticed it after I took all my photos and was looking at them. It is just a reflection of the lamp I was using to light the scene during the photography. It's funny how the light must have been positioned to show up in only the one window like it did.

It's a good accident Duke, adds realism to the shot!

Duke, that's just ruined it for me, I thought it was a mini light like those model railway guys use :wink2: ^&grin

But to be serious for one moment, yes I can be if I try. I like the way you shoot the pics at the eye level of the figures, and close in, like an actual photographer in the scene.

Tom, I went back and looked at the around 40 photos or so I took of this scene and the "light" was in only 2 of the 40 photos. The lamp must have been positioned just right for those 2.

^&grin Thanks Matt. I'm very much the amateur photographer, but I like to experiment with the camera and different angles. I put these dios on a small table and then crouch down or sit on the floor to get the eye level shots. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Really well set up and photographed - and the English have not always had such luck telling the Yanks where to go

 

[wwiibuff]

Thanks Fitzgibbon. I've noticed you've posted several dios recently and they are really looking good mate.
