RobL Posted January 25, 2016 Share #2201 Posted January 25, 2016 Dressing the battlefield of destroyed tanks seen at the opening of the film. and the final fate of many crates and props: sold off by the production company within hours of wrapping the last shot - mostly to re-enactors from the 2nd Armored UK who helped a great deal in getting the details right on the film. (And of course some props and wardrobe items were saved by the production company and shipped back to the US to offer in the auction.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted January 25, 2016 Share #2207 Posted January 25, 2016 Rob, Thanks for posting the photos. I can imagine the smile on your face once everything was completed and on set. You know I'm a crate fan as well and I was drooling over those shots. The plates for the grenade crates, are those the same ones you had a decade ago when you were getting ready make them? I will always remember you showing me that plate on the set of "Mail Call" and how cool it looked to me then. Neat tanker jacket you're wearing in that one shot, who made the War Correspondent patch?

Johan Willaert Posted January 25, 2016 Share #2208 Posted January 25, 2016 Inside the mobile armory in between Armourer Alan Hausmann (l) and Master Armourer Simon Atherton. Hausmann worked on many projects like Band of Brothers and Private Ryan. Thanks for posting all this, Rob, and great to see Alan on the picture... Haven't seen him in ages... Remember him well from our 29th Division re-enactment days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted January 26, 2016 Share #2209 Posted January 26, 2016 I brought my copy of "The World War II GI in Color Photographs" to England to show Alan. Its been a sort of 'wish-book' for me since I first picked it up in 1993. I knew that Alan was featured in some of the photos, and he had hilarious insights into the shenanigans behind some of the images. He signed the book, and added '29 Let's Go' - so his fondness of those days with you all seems alive and well. This shot captures a more honest reflection of Alan's and Atherton's antics - they're mockingly cooing and petting my crate - they referred to this 'hero' stuff as my "Gucci Collection" - to be coddled like haute couture handbags. No ball left unbusted. They were worth a good laugh every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came out, I was routinely mistaken for the thin guy wearing glasses who is in a lot of those shots as I sort of looked like him at the time and most people who knew me in the hobby knew I had pals on that side of the Pond...

Alan is shown throughout the book, sometimes without glasses (Pages11, seated in left side chair) sometimes with glasses.... Others shown in the book were also part of the 29th group (Steve West, John Rowe, Martin Toy, Phil Plane and others...) Also in the book, mainly in the AB section is Bruce Gunn, who would later have a great AB collection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsbody Posted March 31, 2018 Share #2216 Posted March 31, 2018 These pics of Tiger 131 were taken around March 2014. It was undergoing maintenance for the upcoming Tankfest at Bovington. I was fortunate enough to get access to the workshop at the time. Since this tank was featured in the Fury movie some of you might like to see these pics.
