Hi Lt, Been working too hard.

The American attack is prepared......leaders marshall their units


machine gun teams set up with good arcs of fire to cover the advance

The attack moves and casualties are inflicted.....

Kevin,

I have to get you, Gordon Neilson, Firebat, Morbshock and the Lt. together for a weekend with my collection, and unlimited access to supplies from the wonderful Hobby shop near my house. There won't be any space left in the museum to walk around, but boy, would the results be exciting!

 

[The Lt.]

Once again Kevin (aka panda1gen) some great photos and glad to see the troops on the move again, you've been missed. Louis the only problem I see by getting us together with both you and your collection is that you may find it very difficult to get rid of us but I'd bet it would be a gathering not to be forgotten.....The Lt.

Economics dictates that I only collect WW2 - thanks to our Chancellor - (Roman style salute follows, 'vive la revolution', 'no taxation without representation') - even that is a struggle sometimes - but if I could get to shoot the other periods, I would be a happy bunny.

What about if we make a book or CD ROM - or ten? I keep meaning to publish a CD of my current stuff but haven't got round to it yet.

I do have some pics of your amazing collection from last year but haven't downsized them yet. I'll have a look and maybe post a couple in the diorama thread.

At the end of the day, it is the soldiers that are just little works of art now, full credit to Andy and co.

Best wishes

Kevin

Thanks Kevin,

That was really quite nice of you. I hope you make it to either Chicago or the Symposium next year.

Regards,

Louis

Fantastic stuf, How did I miss this one!

Great work, I always wanted to do a bulge scene but too lazy to work on all the terrain or more like where to store it once finished. Top notch images!

Outstanding work yet again. Getting the most out of that fantastic diorama is a smart thing and treat for all of us to observe. I love seeing allied troops in action.

Thanks,

Carlos

One machine gun team set out their position very carefully and waited. The squad leader used his field glasses to pick a target. The squads jeep was hidden behind cover........

I'm in...............Kevin, I am working on a Bulge Diorama now, I will have it done in about two weeks. I am not going to put it here, because I don't want to interfere with your story line. Mine will be preparation for the beginning of the Battle.

By the way excellent lighting and photography angles. I like those close up shots. Alex

 

[panda1gen]

The US forces prepared to engage with mobile troops positioning as best they could, wary of the German defensive capability. It would be the German turn to defend stoutly.

 

[The Lt.]

Looking forward to what the Germans have planned the photos look great. It's also nice to know that Alex (aka Firebat) is preparing the beginning of The Battle. More photos please......The Lt.

The long awaited US assault on the german position starts to roll.....a 30 cal team lay down covering fire from a position behind a wall....

 

[panda1gen]

Artillery support is called in.....

 

[panda1gen]

Infantry and armour attack but the germans are well dug in......
