A Mobelwagon of the 9th SS moves to the sound of the guns with ad hoc support troops.

Great campaign everyone. Fine fotos to follow. (When the sun comes out.)
Thanks for the motivation.

Couple more photos in my gallery but I didn't set up a folder so they are spread out.

Nice job, how did you do the 'blurry' affect on the BW photo??

Can't wait for more photos.

Excellent job. I really like the Mobelwagen. What have you used for the branches on that vehicle they look terrific. The foliage is well done. There is only one thing I might change and that is adding some black at the ends of the Exhaust pipes. Maybe it is done but I can`t see it that good in the pictures. Your figures look great too an excellent choice of figures I have to second Graywolf in that.
Then the Black and White photo. I like what you did with photoshop. The B/W adds a lot of Atmosphere to the scene. I think I can Answer Scotts question about the Blurry Effect. To me it looks like You added some noise to the picture (I might be mistaken but I bet Keenan can Confirm it :-) :-) ) I did the same with my Black and White pictures OF Borrowed Goods

Another superb RMG Entry

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I used ArcSoft PhotoStudio to do the black and white conversion. There is a "Fine Art" effect called "Film Grain." Used that effect at about 50% intensity. First time I messed with it. I am glad you guys like it.

Thanks again.

Dustoff,
I actually got the same comment at work today about the track marks in the groundwork. A lot of track traffic moved down that one road during OMG. I posed one tank crew member in the track and the tank commander scanning the sky suggesting his tank was stopped. He is either looking for Jabos or another resupply drop. He is actually hoping no more Red Devils show up...
Thanks for the feedback. I actually thought about the track marks and decided that this Mobelwagon would not have been the first tank down that road.

Thanks again for the feedback,
Shaun

Excellent work. What did you use for the foliage that is attached to the vehicle?

Slodder,

You can get that grainy effect in PhotoShop by using the Add Noise filter

I am digging those mufflers. How did you finish them? Really good work.
