Weekend Photo Shoot

1/3/2011

9 Comments

 
Well...here it is, the first post of the new year. I meant to post last night, but didn't have the energy to get it done. Hammer Six and Panzercommander came up to Columbus yesterday and we all spent the day shooting the breeze, eating and taking a few pictures. Great day, lot of fun! Anyway, I was too pooped to post last night, so I am doing it this morning. My group had the day off today, but I worked a few hours this morning to get caught up and now I am going to play the rest of the day. Haven't really had time to work on the pictures that we took yesterday, but here are a few raw images so that you can see what we were up to. Hammer Six has this great looking vignette piece that we wanted to use for a prop - a European style telephone pole. First of all we decided to do a scene with a command group, stopped in front of the pole, checking their map and considering their next move. The Kuble, Motorcycle and sidecar and troops are all Panzercommander's. I particularly liked that sculpt on the Motorcyclist as you can tell from the one closeup. Lot of personality in that sculpt.

That Panzer officer on the righthand side of the shot is part of Panzercommander's Panzer II crew. He is all ready for his Dragon tank to arrive and he has got a great looking crew outfitted for it. Look forward to more pictures soon.

Next were a couple of figures brought to feature his great looking telephone pole vignette. That wire reel setup from Dragon is a beautiful piece and it looks really sharp in a setting like this.

Hammer Six bought the vignette from Bobbie at the Ft. Thomas show, one of many great items that Bobbie had for sale. I think I took about 50 pictures total of the two setups and I am looking forward to taking a portion of them and working some Photoshop magic on them this next week as I have time. Panzercommander's scene will be used as part of a teaser for a 1940 Invasion of France dio that we are planning. Can't wait until spring. We were hoping for at least one Panzer II to be here by the weekend so that it could be included, but it didn't happen. Oh well, hopefully we will have a trio of them to share with everyone at the meeting on the 12th of January.

Starting this week, I am planning to do just one blog update each week. Normally, I will plan to do that Sunday night, though if there are conflicts it could happen on Monday evening. I am just finding it too hard to come up with material for three days a week (much less five). It was CK2's suggestion to go to once a week and I think it is a great one. It will allow me to work on some other things besides just the website. I will try to make the once a week update cover 2 or 3 subjects so that there is plenty to talk about the rest of week in comments. I would really like to see more of you participate in the blog. It's real easy to do. All you have to do is use your screen name, make a comment and hit submit. Would love to see more of you participate. So...until next time, have a good one!

so the spring shoot is going to be held in the U.P. right? seriously though, the pics look great and with a little photoshop magic they'll be even better. I really need to get some more pics of that pole with measurements, those would be simple to make if I knew the dimensions. The insulators would be the only hard part.

As for going to once a week, I think it's a good idea too, it will give you more time for other projects.

Now we just need a way to get some more people commenting!

LOL Chris... maybe if you get that 1:6 railroad installed we'd do the Battle of France photo shoot in the UP.

Thanks Shawn! I've got my ten man early war squad ready to go aside from some minor insignia issues... But those will be taken care of eventually.

Keith - the promo video was a cool idea but I think it was done a little too early. I should imagine the photos will look completely different when Mike is done Photoshopping them. Also - I don't know about grabbing photos like that - even if they are from other club members.

Fred, your troops looked great on Sunday. I am sure I have all sorts of insignia problems with mine, but I don't have a clue what they are. I was just pleased to get rid of the elastic straps on my guys.

The tank is fantastic. Can't wait to bring it to the meeting next week. The paint job is really nicely done, there is a lot of detail and the tracks in particular are first rate. Glad I got one.

Thanks Mike! Your early war infantry and PAK 36 crews looked great as well! I'd be happy to help with any insignia questions you might have - just let me know.

Agreed that the tank is FANTASTIC! Those tracks are amazing! I'm really happy with my purchase as well!

The photo shoot at PM's was a blast. Between his PAK unit, PC's HQ unit and at least 3 Pz ALSO'S and th troops we can scarf up it will make a nice story line.

PC and I enjoyed watching him put his ALSO together. The big D hit this one out of the park........no question about it.

Mine is hiding in the far corner of the bunker waiting for an all clear so the mainteance gang can be pressed into service to get her up and running.

LOL Hammer! Hope you're able to put it together by Wednesday!

Had a great time putting my tank together at your house on Tuesday! Thanks again for taking delivery of it - it helped out a lot with my crazy schedule!
