Hi Everyone, ----- Below is a link to Gen. Pettygree's new short story entitled Brace Up. Seems apropos/fitting these days. Hopefully you enjoy Chapter 1 Night Attack here: link ----- Includes my customary captioned photos; mostly with dialogue on this occasion. Most photos are night scenes. ----- A diversion surely for you? I hope you are all doing well in your bunkers and essential jobs. ----- Respectfully, Bill P. Chronicler for The Adventures of General Pettygree

Who needs a Hollywood budget? Loved the way you added Tracer to one photograph at the end. Officers and gentlemen at that time certainly bristled.

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for creating and posting it. Your explosions are great. I like the combination of yellow and orange (or red). Is that with one LED candle? Can you lead me to the source? Thanks, Tom

You Men are terrific, taking the time to view the story and write comments. Thank you very much. ------- Garyowen See https://evandesigns.com or Modeltrainsoftware.com ------- In the left hand hut: I used the product: FIRE! DC3F. 3 super bright LEDs with resistors and wires connected. My power supply is a 9 volt Duracell battery. ------- In the right hand hut I used salmon colored paper through which a VERY bright light penetrated. -------- To enhance the effect I dabbed my fingers in various water base paints* we all use and smudged them into pieces of cotton. The latter enhance color and give the impression of smoke. ---------- *black, yellow, red, orange. ---------- Respectfully, Bill P. Chronicler for The Adventures of General Pettygree
