Beautiful Normandy Shermans pics! When it comes to Figarti's Shermans, unfortunately I only have their winter dozer version and their recent Calliope release. Wish I had more, because they all are really great!
Normally, photographers uses b&w to create a sense of movement and action in their composition...your color rendition far exceeds that creative objective. It is true to life!
N-P
I'm finally off the road for a week and had a chance to take a few pics of what I consider to be a great Figarti vehicle to add to the thread (with a few added figures):

Cool Pics.....This is turning out to be a excellent thread....Too bad only K&C gets their own diorama section.....I still cant figure that one out.
Thank you men
On the color pic I stepped up the F Stop about as far as you can go for ultimate clarity, which really narrows the depth of field, notice even the numbers on the rear of the tank and the plow have a little blur due to the angle, but the mid section which I focused on is clear as a bell. So that was actually pushing the F stop a bit too much.
With the background extremely blurred and the tank sharp it gives a 3D look.
There are some pretty cool shots in this chapter of Episode IV of TGC. We will release it on June 6th (D-Day) although the Episode is titled The Battle of Normandy. Alex
Here is another !

Hi Just thought I would mention that i have just purchased my first Figarti Sherman...Actually my first Figarti item ever!!!!!...Got it from a private Museum in Belgium, and it"s Awesome..it"s the Dozer Sherman (winter) and i love it, but it looked a little lonely sitting there so i gave him something to push around...Figarti"s GMC. Full cab version, with Jerrycan load and African/American crew, also Awesome!!!!!!. Now i have a reserve on the T3 Armoured Recovery Vehicle, and hope someday to find the Normandy Sherman with the wading snorkels....Maybe finish off with the Sherman Crab...Now that just might be a tall order!!!!!!.
