Despite the need for rest Mr. Ray D. Bean of Still Motions Photographics has proven he does not know the definition of “rest” and just announced his German Battleship Volume 77 is now available.

The real bonus is that this DVD contains 150 images, battle charts & drawings of this famous German battleship together with a bonus file containing 20 images of the HMS Hood.

This DVD is available now at US$25.00.

However in all seriousness on behalf of the news team here and I am sure on behalf of the forum members we wish Ray all the very best for his forthcoming treatment and a speedy & full recovery

Please note that this latest product from Still Motions Photographics is on DVD format and not CD.

Oh no, my weakness! I have been chomping at the bit to do a Bismark. *SERIOUS HINT* A Prinz Eugen DVD would make me really happy!!!

...THANKS for the feedback guys...but you know what, there just are NOT enough pictures to be found, scraped up, located, begged for, of Pr Eugen...there are no walkaround photos done back then, best I can do probably now is a compilation DVD of Lutzow, Graf Spee, Deutschland Hipper, etc... and another thing, the QUALITY of many of the pics out there is just terrible...and most of these have already been seen, nothing new out there. Same goes for Tirpitz...probably about 25 known pictures, most of poor quality...you notice how many books of these ships are out there now, but half the pics in the books are now CGI images, renderings, not photos. there are only about 20 known pics of the YAMATO out there, impossible to make a full DVD...

Good point Ray; I got Shipcraft 1 (Pocket battleships) and Osprey's volume on German Pocket Battleships. I was surprised at the small number of pictures available, as well as the quality. Many in Osprey's volume are grainy and from too much of a distance. All "close ups" are drawings or CGI renderings. Finally, there is about a 25-50% overlap in both publications in terms of the pictures themselves. I think I saw ONE decent close up picture of the updated radar system (mast).

Ray, Yes, it is true there are next to no good high quality images of the Prinz Eugen. I have been saving every picture of her I can find, and some are just rotten. The US Navy did take a few good pictures of her while in their care, but there is not enough for just a dedicated DVD on her. You also bring up a good point about the Yamato. The same is true for most of the IJN ships. There are pictures of them, but the quality is not good. Just keep adding titles and doing what you’re doing.
