discussion Kwajalein Atoll..February 1944 -Now with colour too!!!

[Alan 45]

Great work Ron I like this a lot

To expand on Si's idea why not do a part two of the japs counter attacking

 

[spanner570]

Thanks all for the posts and ideas.

Alan....How about this. I could combine both yours and Si's idea...

If I moved the two marine fighting figures back to the left hand side of the dio., I could have a Japanese 'Banzai!' along the alley, dead set on reaching the wounded G.I and his rescuer.......

Will they, won't they?

How's that grab you?

That is a great idea Ron

Hi Mr Ron,

This is stunning, WOW, you can almost hear the battle going on, I certainly think if you took this to a show you would win everything...

There isn't enough space on the whole internet for the amount of stars this deserves Sir, I do hope these ***** x infinity plus will be ok to give you an idea...

Andy...

Ooooh now lemon slices might just be worth traveling 300 odd miles down to cosford for

All assuming you could persuade Ron to part with some .....

[Gern]

My fault again I see!

Still, I'm not the only one who wanted to see colour pics. That's as good as anything else you've done Ron - which says it all really.

Gern

PS Who said anything about Boddies!? And I didn't notice you dunking your Eccles cakes so how was I supposed to know your strange eating habits?

You can almost hear them screaming "shinde"!!!!! (die!!!), I think the other one the Japs liked to use was "Koroshite!" meaning "I kill you!"

 

[spanner570]

Thanks for your comments chaps. I'm glad you approve of the colour pickies....

Alan & Si, it's a done deal....Figure butchering I go!

Andy, I've sent you a p.m.

Steven, thanks for the info on the Japanese words.

.

Dave, you know you like the abuse - at our time of life, the verbal one is the only one left!

Thanks again boys.

Ron

Hmmmm what you like at diversion tactics?

Excellent work from the master again. I understand the reason behind the B&W shots, but I'm with Dave. The colour shots, for me, add much more to the scene.

 

[spanner570]

Cheers Colin and Colin.....

Colin m, now I've seen the two types of pictures, I agree. The colour ones show the detail better, but the b&w ones give a better feel for the period....sort of!

Master? Steady on, I don't believe there is any such animal.....Some folks might think they are, but they are best avoided!......but thanks for the compliment, none the less.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your comments.

Ron

I butchered the figures to give a 'just shot' pose..I left one bloke untouched, he's running to join his comrades.....Bad move!

I also left some of their gear off, figuring this would be a last suicidal charge, so they wouldn't need much.....

I hope you like this final add-on chaps....'specially Alan and Si....!

Cheers,

Ron

I've done the Japanese 'Banzai' on a second 'Kwajalein Atoll', as this thread is getting a bit messy! lol.....

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions boys...
