Everything nicely in scale, together with an apt, and atmospheric landscape as well, Rad. Great location choice. :clap:
Congrats :wave:

I finally remembered what these gorgeous photos reminded me of. German newsreel shots of advancing German armor during the Battle of the Bulge. Snow on the ground, dense low fog, and soldiers clinging to the side of these tanks. I say replicated perfectly! :clap:

Cheers,
Eric.

Would be the perfect picture for a January calendar page. I think someone with more motivation than me should put together an RCTW calendar as a fundraiser for the forum.

Glad you liked the pics!

EAO: What came to my mind was the Gumrak airfield, in the stalingrad kessel, 1942. The road in front of my house definitelly looked like the airfield to me, lol.
Some of the scarce pics I found about it:

And also it reminds me a great war movie that everybody should see.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/ Finally a movie that is recorded from the german side, well worth it!

Jimster: Yeah, a calendar for supporting the forum is a great idea, so my pics are available for that. If somebody is interested, contact me for high resolution pics.

Rad,

That's exactly the type of scenes your pictures reminded me of! Haven't had a chance to see that movie, but I'll hunt around for it. Always been fascinated by the story of that huge "meat grinder".

Jimster,

Great calendar idea, I'd buy one. I bet Mick could even slip something sexy in there too! :D :wave:

But then I digress...again,
Cheers,
Eric.
