Build a Photo 3

Thinking again, I passed a Desert Rats memorial the other day on the way to north Norfolk, and it’s crying out for a model.

Lighting was a bit harsh with the sun in the wrong direction, but you get the drift. I’d model the plinth, but not the A1065 road or the camp ground! :slightly_smiling_face:

Take a photo of your progress to date, then make a build of the photo of your build of a photo. :grin:

The white Tigers? They are from s.Pz.Abt. 501

The first one is “211” and the second one is “200”. All the Tigers of the 501 looked similar at that time.

I don’t know if you want to build it perfectly? Because you won’t find a kit that has exactly that version of Tiger.

It doesnt need to be 100% correct down to very intricate parts etc, its more about the representation of the scene, backdrop, colours etc :+1:

Me neither Ron…. The Conqueror gives me dirty looks every time I open the cupboard. The trouble is I moved house in the interim and and can’t find the parts to finish it.

John, I am in. Going to pick a less optimistic task than depicting a vehicle running through muddy water…

I’m hating this! There are so many things I want to do!!!

I’ve long wanted to do a US lend lease halftrack pulling a ZIS-3, so I went looking for photos and came across this video:

There are so many interesting things in it….

There is a still of an M2A1 pulling a ZIS-3 on the o5m6 website, but I’m not sure it’s a public domain photo. I’ll probably drop him a note and see if I can repost it here….

I cant see why it would be an issue as long you throw in the “ sourced from online and for reference/discussion purposes only” ………… (and its on youtube anyway so you cant get more public than that)

Personally I can’t see a problem - you’re not using it to make money! Like John said, just add a credit line about where you found it - as long as it wasn’t stolen from somebody’s house in a photo-album theft!

Lots of good ideas thus far. I think I’m leaning towards a desert scene but I need to find the right one. Something like the photo here attached but I’m also looking to include a Bren carrier if I can find a suitable photo. There’s a few photos around of carriers doing resupplies to outposts around Tobruk during the siege that I just have to find.

Also have to note that the other day I almost considered withdrawing from this campaign. I originally signed up as I’d read the description as ‘Build a Photo 3’ (as in the third iteration) but when I saw updates in the forum which I read as ‘Build a Photo 3 in a month’ I thought ‘sod that! My current rate is one every six months!’

All good. I’m in :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

If it was to build a model in only three months I’d be out too - building one in only three YEARS is enough of a challenge!
