Any of My fellow modders have any ship or sub photos that are in bad
shape that they have always wished they had a better copy of.
if so even though ive got a lot of stuff on the go I may be able to
help

have a look at these.

I am willing to trade some restoration work for a little help with modding.

any takers.

thanks and thanks Im self taught as far as restoration goes.

I notice that the bunch of you have the modding skills I need
but not one of you needs a pic done this bartering thing is off
to a slow start.

Theres one with a soldier holding a fellows decapitated head by his scalp in some bombed out city, and another one of the original flag going up over iwo jima. im sure the whole lot is worth a bunch.

Have your got a Scanner and an email.

martin.picfix@gmail.com

but if you do, do it and its a lot of pics. then just make a winrar or zip and
post it to rapidshare its a secure link you just copy the url address
from the page showing its ready to download when its done and pm me the url.

id be very interested in both WWI and WWII do you have any naval pics.
also I am most interested in a Picture of the first raising of the small flag.

What it would be worth I would have no idea about the value of your original
prints but I am certain of there historical worth if you digitize them and make
them available to online databases.

I noticed a bunch of scribbling on your example pics. Where those done by toddlers, and where they punished for destroying those historic photo's ?:rotfl:

I would assume so, the source of the pictures (most not all)
was D A Bell's family and when I did the work Mike Kemble
on whos website they appear had lost touch with them
however it is assumed it was one of D A Bells own children
sometime after 1948.

visit mikes website on Johnny Walker and the second escort
group just click the whimbrel link in my siggy.
