Nice pics Kevin, this will be a good movie. The Kilted and Fishman show is very quiet for now. Give em Hell. Mike
 
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.

This is Panda's project, our Bulge Diorama, which is on our Web Site now, was a one shot deal. We have many projects in the making, so make it a habit to stop by often to see what Nick and I are up to. Alex
 
I was only kidding!!!!!!!: But cool~!
Can't you just use the old ones?????????QUOTE]

Scott

'I have the pictures' - you are right I could shrink the old ones, this last para picture was 2005 when I was just starting out really.

The problem is the time it takes in amongst my three jobs - one to pay for the family:) , one to pay for K&C :D :cool: and the other, much the busier and most profitable, to give to large Scotsman called Brown:mad: .

Tell you what, I'll start a new thread 'on account'. This is a term I learned from Mr Brown as what I do now is pay tax to him in advance, in case I earn it. This puts a new meaning to 'servant of the state'. I will pay an odd picture on your account in case I do a 'market garden thread' - OK?

Here's a few just to whet your appetite.....Thirty Corps and paras (Note no Firefies)

Meanwhile back in the Bulge a wild melee developed......the weather was still often poor....visibility could be poor - the US troops advanced, wary of ambush....

In places the Germans were well dug in, sometimes in positions captured from the Americans earlier in the campaign....

Thanks for taking the time Kevin with little or no time lately for yourself. Once again it's a pleasure I look forward to......The Lt.
 
The weather was cold and the panzer grenadiers froze in their half tracks as they pulled back....glad though if the fog was present, as although it was so cold it did keep the air force off them........

Armoured artillery support was called upon time and time again to mask the withdrawal of the infantry......

The withdrawal, often under fire, was hard - all the way back to Germany.....

Those have to be some of the best quality pictures I have ever seen- the Bulge stuff looks REAL!! I mean, it looks as if you plucked them straight out of a full color book on WW2. The clarity is second to none.

BTW- What model is that Hanomag- the winter one??

Seriously though, to a casual observer who didn't know any better, I think you could easily pass those off as real pictures of the war.

A big STANDS ALONE to you- job very very well done.

I can see I am going to have an inferiority complex my stuff is just light years behind the rest of you guys- even my own kids think my stuff is the weakest when I show them all of you guy's stuff!!:D
 
It's nice seeing the Diorama Thread buzzing with actions from the Warrior now I know why he adopted the name and it fits and the panda1gen fits him to a tee along with his Armored Units and Fubar's creative Napolioninc battle scence being gaurded by his loyal Tiger and well as highlighta from firebat it's what makes me feel great to be a part of such a talent group who enjoy and love the hobby and their collections. Please keep it up guys it's what makes my day and let's not forget the Fish Man who provides the Pols to keep Nappy on his toes along with his other many talents.....The Lt.

Chris, it is a 1/32 I bought in a sale - it might be Britains.

Chris join the crowd, Pandagen is far and away one talented photographer. If he can take photos of little scale soldiers, just think what he could do in the open field of photography. My goal is to take photos half as good. Mike:)
 
Thanks guys, I think that is enough of the Bulge for now. I have hundreds of photos but haven't shrunk them all!!!!!! I wish you could see them real size though.
 
Kevin the panzer are photos from The Encyclopedia of Military Modeling published in 1981 and the model by Bill Evans, Don Skinner and John Sandars. As an incentive to keep you bored to continue with the Battle of the Bulge the following two models are by John Wylie and once again Don Skinner....The Lt.

Brrrrrr at least he has his gloves. I'm really not looking forward to that white stuff. Mike:)
 
I hope he can't see what we can see - or he might worry a little......
