L-R. Jeff Hammer, John Kephart, John Drye, Keith Rocco, Mark Franke, Tom Karstens
The crew was reinforced today with two more workers for another successful painting party. John Kephart continued with land infantry. John Drye loaded the boat people into LCVPs in accordance with Keith’s design. Mark Franke painted and applied decals on two Sherman Deep Water Fording tanks, Tom Karstens began painting another group of land infantry. Jeff Hammer worked on weathering the steel hedgehogs.
Jeff is new to our group. He has experience with painting figures, mostly Sci Fi and Fantasy. Welcome aboard Jeff.
At first, Keith Rocco and I did some planning on where everything will go. Keith approved the colors of the sand and water. Everyone liked the TP waves. So, we moved on to other work.
Next, I modified a LCVP to be capsized. John Kephart made a good point about the LCVP sinking aft down because that is where the engine is. So that is how I cut it. This kind of synergy is making the project better. Command Villa after laser cutting
