Hi Robin,

Nice clear photos as usual, what sort of camera do you use as you get great results. ^&cool

I like your policy of don't buy one when three or four will do!

Thanks Jeff, can always rely on you to respond, makes it worth while. Have a cheap little digital camera, from memory around $100. My clear shots are as a result of the tripod and time delay aspect, just set it up and take the shot and wait 10 seconds for it to take the photo nice and steady. I have been a army builder all my life, always looking for the WOW factor often achieved by the duplicate/multiple feature, one of course that can cost heaps. Always thankful when new releases are one of kind and do not lend themselves to more than one. Fairly safe in WW1 & WW11, but my other series are a worry before 1900 when there were firing lines, like Zulu & Imperial China. Hence my recent decision to abandon Naps & Romans. Have another Nile boat scene in mind before Christmas, mine is not set up like yours unfortunately. Cheers, Robin.

Nice car park mate.

Well it has no room for Tigers, White, Yellow or Grey or any other colour for that matter, well behind the lines here, it's not as if this area is going to see any action soon surely. Cheers, Robin.

Robin, This is one of the better threads on the forum and always worth a look :wink2: ^&cool

I could do with using a tripod when taking photos at home - seems to make a big difference in quality and also means I don't have to worry about how many G&T's I have before hand! {eek3}

Keep up the good work. :salute::

Great idea of matching up the Playmobil Mansion ( with adequate retro painting ) to the scene...it fits fantastically with 54mm soldiers.....I cannot show these pics to my daughters or else they will guess I will be " liberating - confiscating" their doll house......humm not a bad idea.

Did not realise it was British Wayne, so not so well thought out. Bought the gun in Melbourne in April and immediately lost it in my collection and came across it a few days ago. Been looking for it for the last few months and annoyed a reasonably large item was not readily visible. Way to much in my collection and still growing, going under. Talk about being in the land down under, you have no idea how true it is for me. Thanks for commenting, cheers, Robin.

 

[villagehorse]

This is for you Wayne, cheers, Robin.

I must say I envy the fact that you have so much that you can't find something..:wink2: I have the same gun and just wish I had a crew to man it, both sides captured and used each others artillery to test capabilites so the dio was clever and well done..:smile2:
