Thanks GR . . . The credit for the background picture goes to Moe. He sent it to me and enlarged it using the "Paint" option on my computer.

Better watch them closely Robin . . . You know what they say about idle hands. Hopefully it won't be too long before the Corsairs land on both our carriers . . .

Six more flight deck crew members (JJD BH-20N) came aboard my USS Bunker Hill this morning. Now the deck is "aswarm" with activity . . . .

I had no discipline at all Zach . . . . I dove in with both feet much to the detriment of my JJD Wars of the Roses and WWI ranges . . . .

Some more pics of the new crew members in action . . . .

Nice Mike. My favorite of the figures is the one with his hands on his hips. Looks like a tough kid who would have joined the navy looking for three squares and a rack during The Depression. As a group, the sets are surprisingly sophisticated in terms of sculpting. Who needs black-outlining when pockets, creases and cuffs are so clearly molded into the pewter. I also really like what Jenkins is doing with eyeware, such as goggles, nice simulated lenses, there. In the brief period since matte-figures arrived on the toy soldier scene, the technology associated with their manufacture appears to have come a long, long way.:cool:

Thanks Moe . . . The "hands on hips" figure is a favorite of mine also, a real "hipster" kind of guy . . . .

Mike, that’s a pugnacious looking pack of airedales you’ve got there. Nice!:salute::

Thanks Moe . . . My inspiration for this scene comes from all of the period photographs that are available on line showing crews in similar poses in front of their Corsairs . . . . They are a serious looking bunch aren't they . . .

The figures certainly lend themselves to this setting. Just perfect for this scene. Robin.
 
Great idea Mike, seen many pics of what you have portrayed. Very nice. Chris
 
Mike,
You clicked on all the elements of a great picture.

The photography is wonderful,
The John's figures fit the scene perfectly,
The backdrop seems natural and even some of the guys appear to be watching the picture being taken below.
And it is telling a good story.

Very creative Mike!! This whole thread of yours is a delight to see.

I think this scene for the group photo is my favorite so far.

JJ's deck figures are tremendous and you've made great use of them throughout this thread.
