Thanks for the kind notes guys. We try and get it right but the hard part here is finding the correct locations for back drops sometimes and getting enough people interested in an actual ww2 style game is next to impossible.

How'd you get Photo #4 like that? I want to know so I can do that with mine! That was managed using the contrast and brightness controls in MS Office Picture manager then further adjusted in photoshop with the grain adjustment. It's all trial and error. A couple of our team mates are real graphic masters so to be honest they may know of a better way of doing it. I think the real trick in doing these photos is putting yourself in the position angle of where a real combat photographer would be and properly cropping the picture. This is something we are trying to learn too by really looking at period photos and footage. Sometimes we are more succesful than other times.

Wow! Extremely impressive. The photos could in most cases pass as period pictures. You guys are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing!

We did an indoor studio shoot due to rain last weekend. This is one of the pictures from that day. VFC BAR, Marushin M1's and Carbine with mostly original gear with repro Camo and HBT's

Thanks for sharing Kalbs. Nice nice photos. How big is your unit and the unit you regularly square off against. Just wondering?

Wowzers!! Excellent work kalbs!! Now, please move these to the Allied and Axis 'Stitch-Knot-See' picture sections- these are perhaps the best reference images for what we are looking for in that section that I have ever seen! Hmmm which brings up a question- if your for sure coming to Gatorland this summer, are you bringing anything back with you to play with? I'd love to set up a photoshoot while your 'home'...

I love the attention to detail. Gritty nature of the shots. They really could pass as original. Terrific job. Very inspirational.
