His Tiger 231 was hit over 250 times, but kept on going.)
No..
Not that I am aware of, that it is supposed to be a damaged one
It's Mark's Tiger.

Rob,

Great selection of vehicles. Love the look of them! Amazing photography too! The dreary, overcast weather really suits the scene! :clap:

Cheers,
Eric.

Due to a reconstruction of the area we took these pics, our favorite spot has disapeared.
Damn.
It was a beautiful spot for making photo shoots. A little hill, alongside the canal.
Laying on our bellies, on the hill-side, in the mud.....in this way we did come in level with the vehicles, resulting in these nice pics.
Too bad we will have to search for another spot.
Will be quite a challenge I'm afraid.
CU next time guys.
Mark & Rob.

It's a great big world out there - you'll find another perfect place. Great photographs. I had to look twice at those last few before l realised they were models too!

You know what it is like...once you've found a great location, close to home, it always will be difficult finding another spot which comes close to the qualities of the previous one...
But we'll keep searching.

That's exactly how I felt, Rob, when they closed my local Pub. :|
No, I'm not joking :D .
A few members seem to have lost, or moved away from, the best locations lately. Let's just hope you find a new, and perfect, conflict-zone soon. :thumbup:
Great photos, by the way. :clap:
