Check out the sample of images I have just uploaded kindly supplied by Mr. Ray Bean.

This DVD looks like a real beauty!

Cheers

The sample pics are fantastic! My list of 'to get" DVDs keep growing.... I like the fact that the caption for many are part of the pic. You can print out an image and post over your workbench

I've just ordered one from Ray.

I'll go through it and give an UNBIASED and HONEST review.

...hi from Ray..... the great guru of PTs TGC will no doubt give a fair and just review.... send me your mailing addy now and I will prep it for shipping ASAP.

I think you may chuckle at my own brand of humor on some of my homemade captions.....but what the heck, its all a hobby and fun. RDB

Me?

The great Guru of PTs?

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah, right ............

Hello All.

Yesterday, I received the DVD from Ray.

The quality of the photos is excellent. They are clear and crisp enough to aide modelers with detail work. I think THAT ALONE will be its best selling point and its most apparent strength.

He also includes some drawings of the different camouflage schemes which were either used or intended for the PT boats in WW2. This too will be a great selling point. He has one: Measure 31, Design PX that I've never seen or even heard of before and looks interesting but I don't know if it was applied to a real boat.

But, it does lends credence to something which a late former PT boat man once wrote in a letter to me, about his seeing an all black PT ...

There are a few MINOR inaccuracies in the captions of some of the photos, of which I discussed with Mr. Bean (I've ALWAYS wanted to use that term since MR. BEAN is one of my favorite TV shows) off site.

On the whole, he did a very nice job on it.

Thanks for the review Garth, its on my "to-get" list for sure! cheers

OK.

Just be advised that, Ray has announced that he'll be out of touch for a while dealing with family matters and will be PROBABLY not able to fill new orders for any of his DVDs for the time being.

But he did say that he will try and fill existing orders.
