Just a quick update. The wedding is 3 weeks away. Textures and turf are finished. One scene has a short stretch of barbed-wire fence with a hunter falling off of it and a small shed, large round bale of hay and a few cattle eating. Trees are finished and in place on two scenes are are well in progress for the others. Pics are on the way, I promise. I can't remember having so much fun, and am very excited to know that 50-60 people will get to check our my modeling work at this rehearsal dinner.

Well, the wedding was last weekend and the centerpieces were complete on schedule. They were the talk of the weekend by all who attended the rehearsal dinner. The idea may sound tacky, but they actually looked quite nice on the tables and I received many nice comments from those in attendance who appreciated the detail and the humor included in places.

Pics are now available at the site below. Be sure to view all 3 pages (15 pics in all) to see muptiple views of all 5 scenes, including a couple of shots of two of them on the tables at the dinner. This was quite unusual and quite fun for me. I hope to get another chance like it someday. Here is the link:

Let me know what you think, but please bear in mind I took these pics myslef and I am no professional photographer and have no fancey photo equipment. Just a simple 35mm and a scanner. I look forward to your feedback.
Thanx,
Ron
