CHECKMATEKING2's KINGDOM
I wanted to feature my good friend CK2 this evening and give you a personal invitation to check out his website; CHECKMATEKING2's KINGDOM I've known CK2 for a lot of years and yes, I still like him (ha-ha). Truthfully, he's one of those folk that would give you the shirt of his back. So, tonight in honor of his new website, I would like to share some of my favorite CK2 photos, but these all fall within a specific theme. Tonight, we are doing the Union Army. These two shots above really demonstrate his ability to get in and get the shot that tells an interesting story. Even without bullets flying, it still has a feeling of tension about it. These next four pics are from CK2's Vicksburg shoot. I love that Side Show Grant in front of CK2's scratchbuilt tent. What a great looking diorama. Here the boys are cooking up a little breakfast before moving out. That beautiful CK2 scratchbuilt wagon makes the perfect backdrop for this little scene. Here we are, ..."once more unto the breach"... Union boys have got the stone wall this time and something tells me that there aren't any southern boys that will be taking this line. (by the way, for all you that have at one time or another questioned my breeding, that quote is Shakespeare, King Henry the fifth) So congratulations old buddy on a great looking website. It came out real nice. You all hit on the link above and go take a look. You won't be disappointed. Until next time, have a good one.

Great site CK2! And great Union troops as well! The shots of them behind the stone wall are fantastic! Again - making me wish I had some Civil War troops for a photo shoot with you guys!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sorry I missed tonight's meeting. I've been thinking about updating my Civil War battle shots and adding some smoke to the battle scene like Convoy357 did a while back on the Sixth Brigade.
