Another enjoyable event with the group. Firstly my thanks to Les for all the efforts he must of put in before and during the event. Also thanks to Matt and the pyro team too. Thanks to Kes for doing my sewing and being my dance partner along with charlotte. As always the members of the group made the event so enjoyable as its good to spend the weekend with like-minded people. The invite to Das Reichs evening version of the soldatenheim was a nice touch too.
Apart from the above, the highlights of the weekend for me was the opportunity to eat a 'austrian/german' type lunch on the crowd line, working on Andys skis and the evenings 85th Gebirgsjäger evening trip and photograph session (im certainly looking forward to seeing the photographs from that) Photograph wise-id be happy to pass Paul (Kris's keeper) some money/contribution to charity for a copy of all the photographs from this and other events on CD/DVD....what do other members think? Im looking forward to seeing members at the next event. p.s THe people who accidentally left their cheese/meat and oether foodstuffs in my cool box i will keep it for them until next event or if the dates are tight, i will consume them and replace them with a like for like at the next event. |

Who had the idea of using a carp pole as a flag pole. Some one had a brain wave
|
||||
| Jacko |
Theres a good picture of Kris and his Dad in there..but there is a absolutely superb picture of Andy crouching by a wall on the last page of photos Is it time we considered having a gallery area for our ever growing number of event photographs? Or would it eat up too much space/bandwith etc? |
||||
| admin |
Fabulous piccy of Paul (propagandakompanie).
I think the 85th are getting a realy good and broad display, what with the rabios, enegma, propagandackompanie, skis, MG pits it all helps to make us just the little bit different from other axis groups. Well done, keep it up, Gebirgs looking good! |
||||
| barry |
but what was andy doing behind the wall 
was he leaving a log like sam 
|
||||
| jonboy |
NNNOOOO ........ some think like Bill would get up to

Jacko we are waiting for young Jack to show his dad how to put them on, Matt has got a stock pile pilling up. | ||||
| andyf |
Yer but look what i left on the floor horrible smelly dead thing.
|
||||
| Jacko |
Thanks Andy i thought the display looked good too and having HJ and nurse there too just adds to the look of the display too! Is anyone else wondering what happened to the photographs from the evening trip out around the abbey old buildings?....id love to see them as the setups and the surroundings were great. |
||||
| les hearn |

||||

| Ropes |

| jonboy |
Pic 1 MMMMMMMMM BAR 
The morrning after
|
||||
| Jacko |
Ahh great to see some more pics! they are looking good-is there more as id love to see more of the evening photographs as the settings and setups looked great..i am curious how they looked in Paul and Les's brothers photographs (this portfollio sounds interesting Les!)
Theres also a video(in 3 parts) on youtube of the battle (i think its monday) unfortunately it focusses largely on the Allied action and the sound is terrible. |
||||
| Kris |
yes there is more. (about 200 all together) It just takes a long time to upload them so i do it in bite sizes. |
||||
| Jacko |
200+ wow! I guess all that snapping soon mounts up! I really appreciate the work your dad does -its a service to the group and its great to see how we all look after all the effort we put into getting the impression right. Idea/suggestion!!..... If you/your dad wants to burn the huge number of images from Gunpowder mills and the other events so far/to date onto a DVD/CD ROM il happily pay the costs involved plus something for the effort -or maybe he (paul) would rather a contribution could be made to charity of his choice (help for heroes etc).....id guess that the other members would be happy to do the same thing and it would save you the hassle of loading up the pics to this site...anyway just an idea. |
||||
| admin |
Good idea Jacko. I'd contribute. |
||||
| jonboy |
200+ pic's I would pay for one of those DVD
|
||||
| Kris |
|
||||
| Jacko |
wow some cracking pictures there!....i reckon some of them would look great 'aged' in black in white.
Id really love to have these and others on DVD/CD if possible as i mentioned. Good work Paul/Kris and good work to all the 'models' involved! |
||||
| Ropes |
Tried a few things out. First one I tried got get Like an original color photo that had been scanned into a computer. Second is just standard B/W with some noise and blurring.
|
||||
| admin |
Cracking photos. Ropes you chose the same one I'd have picked mate I'll be updating the gallery on the website soon... Fingers crossed I get the time!!
|
||||
| jonboy |
love the pic's
|
||||
| Jacko |
Ditto, that was my first choice for playing with too...i liked the look on everyones faces and the atmosphere. We really must plan do much more of this 'setting up a scenario' thing where we can take advantage of buildings/vehicles and surroundings to showcase our overall unit look and our individual loadouts -especially if we can create a collection some 1940s look photographs of individuals and the group as a whole. After all we all do invest so much interest, time and money in getting the look right! |
||||
| Jacko |
Heres the MG team trimmed and coloured to look 1940s style...
And Riflemen checking out a bunker: 
|
||||
| andyf |
I look grey already but could you trim me down to 11-12 stone Jacko
|
||||
| Jacko |
No problem Andy -ive found a flattering view....... Heres our trim illustrious Fieldwebel leading his men into action.....or is the beefcake pushing shapes at the disco? 
|

| Kris |
ooooooooooooooooooooo |

| admin |
Oooo, these are fun. Here's my offering.
|

| Jacko |
