Off-Topic / Blast from the past..

« on: 27-09-2013, 15:09:35 »

Hi there guys,

Some might still remember me, and some might wonder who this guy is opening this shitty topic.
I actually have been a member of this community since the very beginning.. Shameful I lost track of it due to work and RL stuff.. I just congratulated an old member (n24reporter iirc) on facebook and thought it might be cool to check this place out one more time.

I just wanted to say how much joy it gave me to see how much of you are still supporting this mod, and keeping the dream alive. I see some very familiar names, who still go strong here. I think this is the greatest compliment to the whole community. I have wondered around the world the last 3 years photographing some of the amazing places, and some of the worst places you can think off, yet I still remember names, experiences, and the joy I had playing and betatesting FH1942 and FH2!

I hope all of you keep going strong with this amazing masterpiece as long as possible!

Off-Topic / Calling for help: Looking for info about the Thompson 1928 and BAR 1918

« on: 27-08-2011, 22:08:52 »

Hey Guys, I don't know if anyone still remembers me, but I haven't really posted in ages.
I used to be beta-testing for the team back in the days and been a member here since the beginning.
Honestly I miss the days I had time on my hands to play Forgotten Hope, but my machine broke down and RL got in the way.

But now I'm here to call you guys help.
Last year I started school again, and I'm now doing a education to become photographer.
Just like allot of you I have an endless interest in weapons and conflicts, So somehow my photo's are often military styled.

Now I'm trying something new for a upcoming photo shoot, witch gonna be big.
It will be about the American outlaws during the great depression.

We all heard about John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, babyface nelson, Bonny and Clyde etc etc.
Well It will be all about them, allot of work models, styling etc.

For this project I'm gonna make some replica weapons. Since you are not aloud to have such kind of firearm in Holland its extremely hard to get. So there is only one way, and that is make replica's myself. (Witch I loved to do as a kid.)
Somehow The man My models are gonna resemble loved it ass well. For example Clyde barrow weapons of choise was a sawed off BAR. John dillinger's gang offend used Tommy's without buttstock. And dillinger himself used a Colt .38 Super, modified to a machine pistol.

I know you guys love pic:

Dillingers Colt .38

Clydes sawed off bar.

Anyways this all Is just info, now to my question,

To make the replica's I need measurement from both weapons.
So the lines I drawn here.. I know its a bit strange drawn, but it just have to be rough. I will photoshop allot of the weapon, and in the end its just a prop.

Same goes for the BAR.

I don't know if Taranov is still active? he had a hell of a database of about everything!

I really hope you guys can help me out!

American on solo mission to kill Bin Laden arrested in Pakistan
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100615/ap_on_re_as/as_pakistan_bin_laden_hunter

Quote

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – An American armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said Tuesday.
The man was identified as 52-year-old Californian construction worker Gary Faulkner, said officer Mumtaz Ahmad Khan.
He was picked up in a forest in the Chitral region late on Sunday, he said.
"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night vision equipment that "our suspicion grew."
He was questioned Tuesday by intelligence officials in Peshawar, the main northwestern city.
Faulkner told police he visited Pakistan seven times, and this was his third trip to Chitral.
Chitral is a remote, mountainous region close to the Afghan border. It is one of several rumored hiding places for the al-Qaida leader.

One word: Awesome!

Off-Topic / Beutepanzers and WWII weapons used post-war

« on: 23-04-2010, 01:04:20 »

The great and very original threat name says it all:
This threat is to discus and post pictures of World war II Vehicles,weapons and equipment used after the war.
Also Vehicles witch are made by a country and used against its previous owners.

To start with, Today I was reading about Syria using allot of World war II German vehicles during there war on Israel.

Quote

"As France increased it's sales of equipment to Israel in the 1950's it felt compelled to supply more useful equipment to the Syrians to maintain a balance between the two nations. To this end a number of reconditioned German vehicles were supplied in some numbers. These included PzKpfw IV Ausf H and a limited number of Stug IIIs and JadgPanzer IVs. However, as the Syrian moved to the left the French influence was replaced by that of the Soviets. This "new" Soviet equipment included initially numbers of T-34/85s which along with the PzIVH were involved in the 1964 "Winter War". This in turn resulted in the supply of T-54s to replace the T-34s.

By 1967 the Syrians fielded some 750 tanks and 585 APCs. At least one mechanised Brigade was formed using BTR-152s and two Armoured Brigades which Zaloga describes as "primarily" equipped with T-54 and T-55s. Churchill indicates an additional armoured brigade was transferred to the Golan Front on June 5th 1967. Zaloga provides a summary of the more unusual ex-German vehicles in Syrian service. It would seem that France supplied 40 reconditioned vehicles consisting of PzKpfw IV, Jagdpanzer IV and Stug IIIs. Later more PzKpfw IVs were purchased from Czechoslovakia and Spain. In his book, Tank Battles of the Middle East Wars Part One, are photographs of Syrian Jagdpanzer IVs (stated they had 6), Hummels (5), Stug III G (28) and Panzer IVs from France (28)."

Interesting Quote from a other board:

Quote

The last Pz.IV to be destroyed in action was killed by an Israeli Sherman mounting a French 'long 75mm gun' (itself a post-war derivative of the main gun of the wartime PzKw V Panther).

Off-Topic / The story of Glacier Girl

« on: 11-03-2010, 15:03:34 »

On July 15, 1942, a flight of six P-38s and two B-17 bombers, with a total of 25 crew members on board, took off from Presque Isle Air Base in Maine headed for the U.K. What followed was a harrowing and life-threatening landing of the entire squadron on a remote ice cap in Greenland.

The P-38 after the emergency landing.

The bombers and fighters after emergency landing, left behind in Greenland.

Raculously, none of the crew was lost and they were all rescued and returned safely home after spending several days on the desolate ice.

Fifty years later a small group of aviation enthusiasts decided to locate that squadron, who had come to be known as "The Lost Squadron," and to recover one of the lost P-38s. It turned out to be no easy task, as the planes had been buried under 25 stories of ice and drifted over a mile from their original location.

The P-38 underneath the ice.

Getting down to the plane.

Packed and ready to be shipped.

On 22 June 2007 Glacier Girl departed Teterboro Airport, New Jersey to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to Duxford, England in order to complete the flight it had begun sixty-five years earlier. On 28 June however, a coolant leak in the starboard engine grounded the plane in Goose Bay, Newfoundland.

On July 22 2007 work was completed in Labrador which included installation of two re-manufactured Allison Engines.

Glacier Girl returned to the U.S. on July 23rd and can be seen at air shows around the nation.

In 2007 "Glacier Girl" was sold to Lewis Energy Corp. in San Antonio, Texas for about $5,500,000.

This is how the P-38 Glacier Girl rocks on now!

Footage:

the 20mm gun still working !!!! firing it after excavated:

Some footage from the organisation who recovered it:

Conclusion:

Now what does this mean for us...that there are 5 more P-38's and 2 B-17 Under the ice!

5 x$5,500,000 = $27,5000,000 !!

We need to sell them once every couple of years so the price don't change since we have 5...

We can just keep the B-17's for fun!

Get your winter clothes and shovels gentleman! where going to Greenland!

Off-Topic / Lesser known facts of World War II

« on: 11-02-2010, 00:02:55 »

I was looking for something wich I can't recall what it was, but I came out here:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~gduncan/facts.html#lesser_known_1940

Nice site with all kinds of strange interesting and bizar facts of WWII.

For example:

A BIZARRE UNIFICATION PROPOSAL

In a last desperate attempt to save France from capitulating and to keep her army fighting, Churchill and General De Gaulle proposed that Britain and France become one united nation. In a telephone call from London on June 16, 1940, to the French Premier, Paul Reynaud, the message stated:

"The two Governments of the United Kingdom and the French Republic make the declaration of indissoluble union and unyielding resolution in their common defence of justice and freedom against subjection to a system which reduces mankind to a life of robots and slaves. The two Governments declare that France and Great Britain shall no longer be two nations but one Franco-British Union. Every citizen of France will enjoy immediately citizenship of Great Britain; every British subject will become a citizen of France. All the armed forces of Great Britain and France will be placed under the direction of a single War Cabinet."

The proposal caused an uproar in the French Cabinet of which Churchill wrote "Rarely has so generous a proposal encountered such a hostile reception." Without Cabinet support, Reynaud resigned as premier and a new government was formed under Marshal Pétain at 11.30pm on June 16, 1940. Pétain immediately negotiated an armistice with Germany. The former World War II hero of Verdun was later tried and sentenced to death, later commuted to life imprisonment. He died in 1951.

RUESOME DISCOVERY

In February, 2006, the remains of around 4,000 German soldiers were discovered in a disused factory building in the Czech town of Ústì-nad-Labem. (Aussig an der Elbe). The remains were found piled high in numbered cardboard boxes which had been stored in the building for over sixty years. These Wehrmacht soldiers had fought and died on Czech soil during World War II but were never given a dignified burial. A cemetery in the northern town of Hlucin was chosen as their final resting place, the local council agreeing to purchase land to extend the cemetery.

Does anyone know more about this discovery?

Can't be leave it and Can't find anything about it.

Edit: Just found this: http://www.radio.cz/en/article/77054

You guys probably know some strange facts!

Share them!

Off-Topic / Vintage camera

« on: 21-12-2009, 23:12:43 »

Family just gave me a vintage camera witch belong to my grandfather, he passed away 4 years ago.
Its a very old camera, I hoped it could be from his youth, but i'm pretty close,
Its a genos Fix camera made by the German company named "Genos Kamerabau", Its a very simple looking camera, small for its time. The interesting part for me is, that there are still pictures on it.. These camera where produced from the 1950 till 1956. Good change I have a nice look back in history!

My question is, do you guys think a photographer/shop is still able to print these pictures?

Anyone maybe know more about ol'school camera's here? Its kinda before my time!
