Hi guys,

I've been thinking about the 3rd boat for the Nan Red project the LCVP. I'm thinking of trying to show it as a damaged/partially sunken boat. Does anyone have any pics of similar?

It could be holed in the side or impailed on one of the many obstructions there were on the beaches. I don't need to sink the whole thing probably just the front section.

Any thoughts about this?

Many thanks

Al

Hey Alan,

I think I remember seeing some photos from D-Day on a link that Gunny had posted if raw videos from WW2. They had a lot of damaged ships on them.

Hi Kenny,

Had a look with the search engine here but no luck I'm afraid

If any one knows of any possible references that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Alan!
I've done a good bit of searching through various outlets and came up with mostly generic shots, most of which wouldn't be of much help to you...the link that Kenny has referred to in his previous post is this one... Good luck, and happy hunting!
