North Africa/Afrikakorps DAK Soldiers

Post by Karl Dak » Sun Nov 20, 2011 8:14 am

Hello all. I'm new here and just introduced myself recently. Over the last several months, I've been creating a 1/18th scale WWII North Africa diorama using various Ultimate Soldier, Power Team Elite, and Indiana Jones items. I must say that the detail of the Ultimate Soldier figures is just fantastic. I recently picked up some DAK soldiers and tried my hand at photographing with a Sony Cybershot. Thought I would share a few of the better images:

Those are pretty good! Maybe a little aging on the photos and they would look ww2! :D

Appreciate the feedback guys. I like to photo-edit, but these were taken with a traditional backdrop. Now that I know the style works, I may try a few different printed backdrops. Perhaps I'll try photographing a few of the Americans in the future.
