Thanks guys.
I'll try to post more pics of the howitzer as I can. It seems to be a favorite, not just here, but with my "closet modelers" at work. (yes, I'm trying to get them to join), I plan to post the pics here and explain that they need to join to see them.
Lyle, if you ever get a chance to go to either Ft. Campbell or Ft. Knox, especially Knox, since both are in "Can-tuck-ee", do it. Most installations have an open house type of day where they demonstrate various pieces of equipment. Although you won't see any large SP artillery, the concept of rapid fire is well demonstrated. As Stik can attest to, here on Bragg, on the 4th of July, the Arty boys line up some 105 howitzers and fire off blanks for a salute to each state and territory flag, as well as accompany the 1812 overture. Absolutely amazing to watch the crews at work!
Thomas, thanks. I try to tell as much of a story as I can with just the action. The title is to help draw attention to the action, or lack of. Personally, I like a title that either requires the viewer to think, or look closely to see what it references. "Saved By Blind Faith" is probably one of my favorites. Not only do you get the impression that they were saved by Providence, but the name of the M706 is "Blind Faith". I just love subtleties!
And lastly, I'm usually pretty decent with my phone, but in this case, none of my lighting wanted to work right. My garage lights were too dim. My flash too stark and the sun was going in and out of cloud cover. Oh well. I'm a modeller, not a photographer!
I'm in the process of driving myself bonkers with all the PE for my Dragon Sd.Kfz. 250/1. Provided I don't go completely insane soon, I'll be posting some WIP pics.
