Moonlit African Tiger

Post by Marco Peter »

Old picture but not shown before.

Image

Using the children's playground sandbox in front of our appartment-building and some studio-lights I set up one of the first tanks I ever worked on to create a moonlit desert. :D
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Friend of mine made a cool shot of the same setting as well! He changed some things and we basically rebuilt the complete shot haha!

An interesting change from the normal Tiger shots we get here, and of an equally high standard for framing and detail. Nicely done :thumbup: Pity they didn't really have much in the way of infra red photography in WW2. IR would make for a really engaging shot. :thumbup: IR pictures were used in the War, but I know of none taken of tanks. Pity.
Here's an article, if you're interested.
