                      Hi Paul,

                      I admire your photographs and how you set up the diorama. I believe capturing the tank battle scenery wasn't easy to do. Would such diorama photography requires artificial lighting and special camera?

                        An old Coolpix digital. I believe a real photographer could get better depth of field & detail easily. I pretty much just point & shoot.

                          Selected a Platoon of armored infantry sans tracks. No BARs were issued to AI platoons as late 44 platoon tracks had eight 30cal. & two 50cal. MGs. These & their three 60mm mortars were left behind in this case for speed and no significant enemy infantry was expected. Squads were deployed mainly to support tanks, coms., & rocketeers. Now to paint the 46 little guys.

                            Hong, thank you. The Coolpix does have a portrait mode for closeups that I use for most of my pics.
