Denny Hair as General George S. Patton and myself as the 503rd MP Bn 1SG. This photo was taken at the Midway Village WWII event in September of 2014 in Rockford Illinois.

willysmb44 Posted November 9, 2015 Share #1032 Posted November 9, 2015 I love the location, so neat to have a place to shoot that looks the part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpguy80/08 Posted November 11, 2015 Share #1033 Posted November 11, 2015 The location is the Museum of 20th Century Warfare at Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park in Indiana. Every year they have the boyscouts come out to help improve the trench system a bit more. It's a protected site so no digging, so they have to build above ground and backfill. It really looks awesome. I love the location, so neat to have a place to shoot that looks the part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire complex has trenches, bunkers and hidey holes built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta1on1 Posted November 17, 2015 Share #1038 Posted November 17, 2015 I like the first photo, what abandoned RR was that taken on? I couldn't tell you not much of it still remains as far as where I was standing. This was taken around the city of Waxahachie, Texas if it helps any.

willysmb44 Posted November 17, 2015 Share #1039 Posted November 17, 2015 PFC of the 1/141 Infantry Regiment (of which I am really a part) and girlfriend, late 1941. 12246979_1159893970688131_6315033552834076465_n.jpg Sam, Great photo! You and your girlfriend's impressions are very good, and you're both exactly the right ages (and sizes) for the part. Very good background, too (it's a steel caboose but some railroads were building them from steel by '41, and it'd look new like that one does) and a good pose. I would only suggest you turn this photo to b/w or sepia to disguise some of the modern landscaping elements in the foreground, and then it'd be extremely difficult to tell that it is a modern photo.

CavalryDave Posted November 30, 2015 Share #1045 Posted November 30, 2015 Nice job on aging the pic. If you don't mind saying, what did you use to age it? Sure, it's no military secret. I use GIMP photo editing program. It's free to download and there are many videos on You Tube how to use it. It is a win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted December 7, 2015 Share #1047 Posted December 7, 2015 My living history group usually puts on a Holiday party in December, and this year we did something different, in that we all went to a old 1920s movie theater (the Fox Theater in Centralia, WA) for a movie afterward. They're in the process of a very long restoration but they're well on their way. My wife had said she was just gonna wear a normal dress but totally surprised me by coming home from a shopping trip that morning with a reproduction 40s dress and having her hair done in a 40s style, something she'd never even talked about doing before.

willysmb44 Posted December 15, 2015 Share #1049 Posted December 15, 2015 Robby, that's a great photo but I noticed that it looks like you're wearing an officer's helmet (vertical stripe on the back) with either Staff of Tech SGTs stripes on your overcoat? Also, there's a modern security light housing in the upper right portion of the photo, if you cropped that out there'd be nothing modern at all there...

RobbyMB Posted December 16, 2015 Share #1050 Posted December 16, 2015 You are correct. The helmet was made earlier then the staffsgt patch. So i was promoted haha Thanks for checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
