"In June 1914, an Archduke of Austria was shot by a Serbian, and this then led, through nations having treaties with nations, like a line of dominoes falling, to some boys from England walking together in France on a terrible day." Doctor Who, The Family of Blood
these started out in life as some disappointing, wobbly, horrible looking pit droids from star wars. a friend of mine sanded them down and repainted them. he also cut gashes and bullet holes into them, added exposed wire, metal, mud and rust. they look pretty cool now. when i saw them i started thinking about the quote from above, they kinda remind me of some world war 1 or 2 gear and the stripes made me think more of france than america.. he was going to do a star on the shoulder, but didn't have enough room to paint it there. i like the stripes. i think they turned out pretty cool looking, much better than they were originally.

shot with the fuji x-pro 1 and 55-200mm lens. it was getting ready to rain, again, and i was feeling lazy. otherwise i think i might have switched the lens to the 18-55mm. the 55-200mm is a nice lens for most a lot of things, but it requires a little more working distance. that can be difficult when working with smaller subjects up close.
shot raw processed in lr5.
