Hi Grant!!

I'd like to see some chopped down trees (logs) to hang on the side of my AFV's.

(hey, my first reply/coment!)

SAS, I have to second the idea of Russian buildings. Especialy the rural area style.

sgtreef, as for the tall grass, have you seen a company called "Scenic Express"? I've got some of their stuff in (Steve Z mentioned this at AMPS) and it is FANTASTIC!

Ok, it's my turn.... maybe some different kinds of farm animals, stone walls, and lighthouses. Anyway... that's my pennies worth....

If you tell me what you're looking for in particular, i'll be happy to shoot some pics for you.

hello Eagle;
What we could use are store fronts from wwII that survived and are unchanged even today, road configurations, styles of brick arrangements, walls, steps, allyways, fixtures, roof tiles, wall tiles, ornamentation on buildings and fountains etc. We could also use measurments of the items mentioned, whatever you can reach. Oh yes, window frames too! I don`t know how much of this stuff has survived the war years but if it does exist pictures and measurments would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
russ

Okay !
As soon as I can borrow one of my friends digicam I'll start taking photos around my place and also in
Versailles, where I work. The windows and doors in my appartment should be a good exemple of what you're looking for, so I'll make measurments also.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can grab the digicam tonight...
Some of the suburbs of paris were lucky to finish the war untouched and many old buildings are still there. But street configurations have often changed.
There are very few paved roads left in paris because in 1968 the "paves" were thrown at the police (under the paves lies the beach), but here in Versaille I can take a few shots !

Thanks Penpen, thats realy great!! Where is the thread on your building pics, been looking for it and I can`t seem to locate it.
russ

The thread is in the dio section, and it's called "photos from normandy".
But anyway, it was only intended to post the link to my gallery :

I just asked my friend and I'll have the digicam tomorrow night ! #:-)

I'll see what I can do SAS. Not much damaged over here, but belgium and france are near by so I'll check things out for you.

thanks eagle and penpen, this is really good of you both!

Penpen, most excellent stuff, love the moldings and the fountain, wow!! Keep up the great work, you`ve got yourself quite the building reference photo album going. I`m sure everyone will benifeit from your hard work. Excellent!!
Not much to report on company homefront, you know the old story, redtape, redtape and more redtape! I will keep you posted !
russ
geez, Corporal, already!

I hope you enjoyed the beautiful young woman taking water at the fountain in Paris,
that's my girlfriend giving scale !

sas how about some factory machinery, overhead cranes, work benches, tools, engine parts, vats or factory buildings with smoke stacks and over head walkways. the enemy at the gates movie is a good movie for ideas.

Yes, there was another mention about a destroyed factory earlier in this thread, so talked
about this with my other partners and was told that a bombed factory would be very much possible and likely.
russ :-)
ps; no Penpen, didn`t notice the girl at the fountain, too busy lookin at the fountain LOL !

Hello to All,
So by now all of you wonderful modelers out there who took the time to respond to this thread quite sometime ago and to those who are so generously taking photographs in response to this thread are no doubt all on the edge of your seats waiting to hear more about this new company forming, well I can now tell you that all this has to do with Dioman`s thread in Dioramas and his being part of Synergy Dio Products back in the 80s.
For those of you who do remember the company from the 80s, the original line of products will be available with many new ideas as well, watch for us in the new year!
Any new questions can be directed to either Dioman or myself Sas.
happy modeling guys n gals,
russ
