Super, awesome job, Lance.
Short Round is Indy's son?
Are the "sets" (inside buildings and streets) photoshop or real?
Can't wait till the next installment.

Thanks very, very much guys! Really glad you're enjoying the story so far....

So here's a breakdown of the various sets used in this chapter -

Church - Harry Potter "Great Hall" playset (the 1:18 scale HP line, sadly, was exclusive to the UK and hard to get in the US, so thanks Phillip Scott for sourcing the playset - and making the AMAZING customs in this chapter - Lizzie, Villain)

Ultimate Solider fountain AND "bombed French building." Even though the bombed building is an amazing dio, for whatever reason, there isn't a really good shot of it here, it's just kind of in the margins and background of various shots.

Power Team Elite "Battlefield" playset - repainted. This is the backdrop for the entrance to the Russian sector and appears elsewhere. I really leaned on using this one too much, as it's so damn big! Finding ways to fill out the frame was a constant challenge. Which is why you also see a lot of that gray stone wall (just repainted styrene sheets from a hobby store).

Power Team Elite guard tower.

Build-a-rama barbed wire fence (glimpsed at the entrance to the Russian sector.)

Pirates of the Caribbean Isla Cruces playset - also repainted.

And a number of awesome custom "ruins" pieces made by our very own flyboy_fx! So thanks very much for that!

The only photoshopped elements are the blurred "motion" backdrops used in the chase sequence, everything else is real, with an occasional digital helping hand. The little bit that we see of the Berlin bunker was very hastily built by me. Hopefully it'll look better in future chapters....which I need to get cracking on!

By the way, Razor, I was going through some old PMs and I am pretty sure that you sold me the command car that Indy and Lizzie use here, so thanks! It's a great piece. (And one of the few ultimate soldier items that will actually fit action figures comfortably!)

THANKS!

Short Round is Indy's son?

Well, Shorty talks about moving back to America with Indy in "Temple of Doom."

In my version of events, Indy eventually adopted him and raised him. But Shorty probably spent a lot of time at boarding school due to Indy's hectic, globe-trotting schedule, which is why he wasn't seen in "Raiders" or "Last Crusade."

O.K.

Let me see if I have this right....

The German shot the Japanese soldiers and took "Shorty" with them to Berlin?

What was the Russian vehicle? Was that the Indy command car?

Amazing work I can only imagine the amount of time put into this

Think it's the first time I've smiled all day. Still smiling now
