Wow that looks real, nice photography
Maybe you could give us a few tips on photos as they are always so real looking.

I'd be happy to Ian. I'm not technical at all about it and most of these are taken on an iPhone11. When I did my Arms Controllers Course at JACIG back in 2005 we spent a couple of days doing photography on real vehicles and aircraft. After that I try to depict my models in the same way as the real thing. The real trick is framing the picture and ideally natural daylight. To get realism, backgrounds should avoid things that will potentially look out of scale. (Think about some of my old MilMod builds photographed across the airfield at Halton). At the moment most of mine are taken up on a shed roof or car roof using the sky as the backdrop. Additionally, motorising prop driven aircraft means a realistic propeller for in-flight shots. Hope that helps Andy EDIT: Thanks Sniper!

Really fantastic scene! If it had been mine I would have put some mud on the trench floorboards, seeing how muddy the area is.

Boots, Bwilt, thanks very much.
Confession time.... I never actually finished it and I've always threatened to go back to it. I plan to add debris ( crates, personal kit etc.) as well as mud.
