link This link is to some more photographs of other actions in the Norway campaign being run for my group.In the photographs of the British Carriers, there are 1:3000 scale Navwar aircraft on deck, with 1:1200 scale aircraft mounted on clear cellophane bases overhead. The difference in scale adds a nice perspective, making them look much higher over the carriers. I've produced a MSPowerpoint display of all this, but unfortunately cannot get it to upload anywhere at the moment. Mal.Wright.

Outstanding photos of outstanding models. Very nice Mal.

They look great – how long did it take to set up for the pics, or did you take the pics and then do a bit of editing afterwards? It looks good enough you can almost hear the gun shots.
Mal Wright	04 Apr 2007 6:20 p.m. PST
It doesnt take much to set up for the pics. During a game is usually enough. The secret is that using a digital camera you can take a whole series of shots in rapid succession of each scene. Then later download and just dump the ones that did not come out well. There is not as much editing required as you might think, once you get the hang of it.

Terrain from terrainmat.com? Lovely shots. Scharnorst got WFT PWNZERED!
Mal Wright	05 Apr 2007 6:44 p.m. PST
Yes. Terrainmat.com did the sea base. I did the rest. Scharnhorst lost some armament and fled. Gneisenau only suffered minor damage. Renown had an engineering hit and could not catch them.
