1939 - 1943 USA photos for inspiration
« on: January 10, 2012, 10:51:21 AM »
I found this exhibition online, these photos are awesome, but are also a great source of inspiration for scenery, color patterns, and ideas for gaming on the USA 40's

Fantastic find, D.

This is worth so much more than just inspiration for modelling. It's a great collection.

Fantastic. Just what I need this for a WIP dust bowl project.
