Title: German city in 1945
Post by: War In 15MM on June 16, 2021, 04:10:09 AM

Here are some pictures of my 15mm layout representing a city in western Germany as the war comes to a close in 1945.  If you would like to see more there is a gallery of 64 pictures that can be seen at www.warin15mm.com (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51250081396_3421791694_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5N4F3)01 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5N4F3) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51251126655_7438a24a31_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5TqoK)02 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5TqoK) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51250274083_cedc944f1c_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3Xe)03 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3Xe) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51250830114_0d8b49bb8b_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5RUeY)04 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5RUeY) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51250274068_216e3bb933_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3WY)05 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3WY) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51250274028_ac47601c01_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3Wh)06 (https://flic.kr/p/2m5P3Wh) by Richard Garretson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/158632126@N06/), on Flickr

Wow, that looks amazing! Some of the low-angle pics are almost like photos from the period. That’s a collection to be proud of!

Fantastic modeling. Stunning photography. Thanks for posting.

You say 15mm, but it appears to be 1/87... or a lot of 1/87 stuff.
(And do I see a repainted Hasbro Indiana Jones truck in that column or is that actually an Einheits?)

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to write and for the very generous words... really appreciated. 

Bill, many, if not all of the cars are 1/87.  A few of the figures are Prieser.  All of the armor and military soft skins are 15mm... mostly Command Decision, but the collection includes Peter Pig, and Flames of War as well.
