Well last night I had a little mooch around Corbis and Getty Images, plus did a google search, but never managed to get any decent images of apartment buildings in Iraq.


So, does anyone know of a good site or knows where I may find images of Iraqi buildings, mainly apartment types in urban areas?
As I am scratch building an intact frontage of an partment block, but realised London ain't really the best inspiration for this....
I keep getting military themed images which, for this instance, ain't what I am after.

Jon, send me a PM with your email and I'll send you a link to some photos I took in Mosul, Iraq which might be of use to you. Mike

Jon,

Also check Militaryphotos.net, tons of pics there for reference.

Cheers, Ski.

Great stuff.

I love this one.

This is exactly why the Iraqi electrical grid will never provide enough power. Gotta love home installed power lines!

Frenchy,
Never seen that 1st pic before...but I have my road laid out exactly like that, and was planning to stick my palm trees in the middle of the road, just like that...but then figured would the Iraqis actually have palm tress in the middle of a road and was trying to think up a lot of excuses for the tree placement...
Guess I dont need to worry now, as that pic just confirmed and justified my layout.
Rest of the pics are a big help too, thanks again.

Wish I had them when I made my M1 Abrams, I would have made a dio out of it, but thanks for posting the pic's.They'll be helpful for the next one I do.

Happy Modeling
