The figures in your photos look like their actually moving,actually in combat instead of figures standing there for a photo shoot.

All wonderful photos Bob, these should really be book illustrations and the dioramas themselves in American Museums. :salute:::salute:::salute:: You have a rare skill in bringing them to life. The explosions are fantastic, but for me the first photo really conveys urgency. {bravo}}{bravo}}{bravo}}

Jackson's Last Fight: Chancellorsville - May 1863.

The Plan

Lee's plan was bold and audacious: Jackson was to take his entire Corps, travel west, and then cut north to attack the Union XI Corps, thus rolling up Hooker's line. Jeb Stuart's cavalry would screen Jackson's ten mile forced march

When Jackson rode away to execute the plan he and Lee parted for the last time



Thick dense and overgrown thickets screened the Southern troops advance as Jackson marched them at double quick time









With the alignment of his troops finally satisfying Jackson's exacting standard he quietly said to division commander Robert E Rodes "You can now go forward"



The Army of Northern Virginia's greatest moment had arrived. This most famous of Jackson's attack would be his last



The stunning Confederate onslaught totally shattered XI Corps. As they fled the field their ears were ringing with a chorus of blood-curdling Rebel yells

I think I've said it before but this is a amazing thread one of the best on this forum and never ceases to amaze me,I admire your discipline to stay on course and not get side tracked with other theatres of war.

 

[mestell]

Another outstanding offering of your historical and photographic genius Bob . . . .

Incredible! I love the latest "Pickett's Charge" diorama. I have read that there was basically a wall of smoke between the Rebel and Union troops, and it looks like you did a good job of capturing that and the debris of battle.

 

[farmertony]

Your ability to capture the moment is astounding.So much detail and all so well thought out.Well done that man.

Bob...
everyone one of your scenes is so committed to detail...
I know how hard it is to do forest scenes...
especially to make them realistic looking...
you really excel at this...
a pleasure to view all these different set ups...
