Perhaps another use for an old lens?

US Army in Normandy, 1944 :-)

The lousy quality of the lens nicely covers up my modelling mistakes. 
BTW: the half-track is about 2.5 inches long (1/76 scale)


A few other attempts at modelling, shot with a decent lens:

Post-war British armour:

The little tank fits in a 35mm film box with room to spare.



A 1/35 scale Eigth Army Bedford portee (IMO, one of my better attempts 
at weathering a model):
