The models are expertly prepared and staged (great tableaux).
Is the Tiger 1 at the top meant to be a 'damaged/recovered' example, I wonder?
It looks
so war-torn that it might have been recovered from a Russian swamp, or perhaps it was one manned by Leutnant Zabel (commander of the 'Tiger that wouldn't die'. 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.

Those black and white photos look so fantastic.

Spectacular photos, really realistic settings and the black and white photos are very convincing

Rob,
Great selection of vehicles. Love the look of them! Amazing photography too! The dreary, overcast weather really suits the scene!
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
.
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.
Great photos, by the way.
