Re: Battle for the Barrikady Gun Factory, Nov.'42

This is definitely my favorite set of your photos so far I think (though I probably feel that way each time you put up new pics!). The three vehicles together are cool, but I really like how the infantry placement compliments the scene. Nicely done Frank!

Elements of 24.Panzer-Divsion, the "Leaping Horseman", pause in a Russian village occupied by German infantry.

These two pictures are from the same photo set as the last batch but spent a little more time in post production.

In the first image I attempt to achieve a retro color look.

My new terrain piece arrived today so I thought I would use the opportunity to feature the Russian AT team.

These photos look so much better than those that Matt uses on his website. I love how you integrated the piece using the street ruble.

That is interesting, none of mine are since I enjoy looking at them and changing the displays around too much. No question though, Frank is one of the masters at this.

No doubt Bill .....Frank is in the top ranks of the best on the entire forum and beyond , I really enjoy his post . I'm still in the building ranks stage with each release two rows deep displayed at eye level in mirror backed cases . I enjoy checking out the figures in what little free time I have , but always take at least 10 min a day . Gebhard

I like the idea of Different Turret Numbers for the Panzer III....allows for realistic tank convoys....I would buy a second grey or winter panzer if this option was available...Nice Diorama

Wonderful pics Frank, the blue sky gave a nice atmosphere to the scene, just wondering if there was any blue sky during that time.

Excellent job
