Thanks!

Bill, I think you need to find a better lighting setup for taking photos. Other than that, I like the figures and, although prsented in static poses, this kind of figures sell really well for Alpine.

Mario, Darren has already yelled at me about using a white background. I used a scanner to bring out the sharp detail, but it costs something because of the minimal shadows. Reminds me of the old ring flash used by fashion photographers in the 80s.

Thanks for the review Bill. Shame the second figure wasn't Witt or Panzermeyer!

Hi, Steve, funny you should ask. When on the "Band of Brothers" road trip this Spring with my son, we stopped at the German war cemetery at La Cambe to provide some balance after visiting the somberly beautiful US cemetery near Omaha Beach. Among those interred is Michael Wittman:







I was wondering what to do with these photos since there aren't enough for a feature.

Taesung is working on Panzermeyer as we speak so rest easy,rest easy.

Nice photos Bill. We've also been there and took the self same shots! There are always fresh flowers on Wittman's grave. I was referring to Fritz Witt though, the third person in the photo, ex LAH founder member, and first commander of "HJ", killed on 12/06/1944 by naval shelling.

I say again Steve,Alpine(Taesung) is working on Panzermeyer as we speak and who knows,Witt may be up next?
IIRC there is a Dragon kit called"commanders conference" that depicts Witt during the battle for Kharkov when he was a LSSAH Regt Cmdr.if that is any help.
