Thank you, glad you like them.

I do like taking photos with a relatively low angle of the light.

Thanks Rob. I always enjoy your excellent contributions, you have a distinctive style.

Another desert photo, this is from a collaboration with Louis, a unique K&C piece with British gun crew. A 'Priest' - a welcome Lend-Lease vehicle (90) in time for 2nd battle of El Alamein.

Heidi

Doris drives a Tilly - after meeting Heidi on the road she takes her into town to sell her wine as she feels sorry for her. The MP politely reminds her that this is not the correct use of the vehicle.




Doris puts the tarpaulin up. Heidi is told this is a controlled area and she must leave.




Later, he sees her again ....




.... trying to sell her wares.




Guess how the discussion went .......

There's a story behind some of these photos, including the one with the one-of-a-kind British version of the M7 Priest. Kevin has flown to the United States to do the photography for our K&C books (the desert volume has been 99% done for years, Kevin just needs to push it over the finish line). The M7 Priest was master painted by Gordon Neilson, but they decided not to put the British version in production, so Andy offered it to me at a Chicago show more than a decade ago. The Priest sits on one of Gordon's desert dioramas, and the backdrop is a Crusader Saracen castle Gordon made for the launch of the Crusader series. We carried them out into my backyard on a hot July day, arranged the dioramas and materials on a big table, and Kevin worked his magic. The days of our photoshoots are some of my favorite memories.:salute::

Great story Louis. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun with these earlier pieces and dioramas.

We had a blast (is that the correct term?). More fun than not going to the dentist. We were knackered. Some of my favourite memories too. The 'maybe book' is why I haven't posted many desert shots, but, I don't think I can complete it now.

The K&C crusaders on Gordon's castle.

Awesome photo Kevin, I do hope you complete that Desert Book being a big fan of Desert Warfare.

Hi Louis, I'm always interested in reading about your adventures making up those dioramas for the book(s), it must have been fun, if somewhat exhausting.

Something a little different - we did get the Glossy book done.
