gritineye Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Mine seems to have been in the bin before, as there seems to be some strange fungus growing on those men's clothing....:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had to laugh when I saw the slightly dodgy airbrushing going on. Its good to see thatme entrance fee went on something useful! (Not that Im bitter though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yep none too impressed by the 'scattergun' photoshopping... Given the amount of effort the reenactors & vehicle owners went to to look the part in the picture it seems a shame to paint all over them... Snow on the ground...yes... 4 inches of snow on everyones shoulders... erm no... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Stuart is a great bloke. I was happy to get the card. Keep tongue firmly placed in cheek. My wife just rolled her eyes when she saw it and said it was dreadful. But she says that about any Christmas card that involves military stuff...a question of taste. Deck the halls...

LeeEnfield Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I got the card as well,.........seems (again :argh:) that ONLY the YANKS and germans were involved in the period depicted. :n00b: Shame...............but predictable. *for those who didn't get card period depicted is wwii. Rick W the re-enactors forum i think your refering to is www.wwiireenacting.co.uk (yes I'm a member, and no, I'm not featured.) All the best.

Does that mean, in theory, that any piccies posted on here must be posted by the person who took the photo, or can prove they own the copyright? I put a piccie up of my grandad during the war, god knows who took it or who owns the copyright, I might be getting a letter asking for royalties!:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Must admit though i was not to happy with the card, i put up in the lounge for all too see............. just to claim the title of having been sent the largest Christmas card (again). Though when the good lady had some friends around last night i noticed it was laying face down on the stereo cabinet ? and for sure will be M.I.A. by midweek .
