Dear All

The title says it all!


First impressions by moonlight...


With primer and a scratched base:


The result:



















And the traditional final comparison shot:




In memory of those who lost their lives in the Pacific Theatre of WW2.



Thanks for watching!

Superb work! :)

I highly recommend the following movies that centre on this evocative image:

Flags of our Fathers - the story of the men in the photo and the events surrounding it both before and afterwards
Letters from Iwo Jima - the same story but from the Japanese side.  IMHO, this is actually the better of the two movies.

Hi

Thanks!

A friend of mine lent me exactly those two movies a couple of years ago.
I would say the movies complement each other.
