Hey Red,

Cool idea but it is a little too dark to see what is going on.

Hey brother!!! Thanks--- but thats kind of the ideal!!! 99% of Banzai attacks happened at night when you cant really tell whats going on!!! I thought the flare would give you some ideal of whats going on and the confusion of what it must of been like!!!---RED---

nice, Red. I've always had a fascination with banzai charges, kamikaze attacks etc....it's quite a thing for someone to do...and those that carried them out were far from being mindless automatons, just had type of remarkable courage. (btw check out the japanese kamikaze movie i posted about in the off topic forum).

Good job RED. I bet its a pain in the ass to get the lighing right.
Well done though, the shadows make it look like a flare from above.

Cool idea! Looks like you put some real thought and time into that. Great work! The poses on the figures were pretty spot on considering that they are action figures I was impressed!

Hey yall!!! Thanks for the comments --- it great to get yalls fed back!!! Hey PANZERTRUPPEN!!! Yes you are correct but I did a little custom work on Dovchenko and turned him into a Japanese officer!!! I will admit it was hard to get the lighting just right so you could see what is going on but have enough darkness for it to still look like it is night time!!!I think it turned out pretty good and I learned alot form this dio--- so I might do a few more night dios!!!---RED---

You've got another winner there Red... 8) I love the night effect, the Japanese were quite fond of night attacks, although for the most part they weren't usually any more successfull than their daylight attacks. :lol:

Thanks little brother!!! The palm trees are a real palm plant that I dig up in some wood at a friends hunting/shooting land!!! It had about 3 stocks on it that I just cut into about 7 or 8 trees and let them dry out!!!You might be to far North but next time your in the woods look around for some of these plam plants---I was down around Macon,GA when I found this one!!!---RED---
