Filming war epic in back yard !

Post by Tom @ Snake River »

A bunch of college students have been filming in my back yard so they can use my vehicles and accroments. The CCKW looks pretty good.

That looks very cool. What is the story of the film?

Very nice! I hope their film turns out well. They do seem to have the vehicles and uniforms down pat, which is more than I can say about Hollywood! :)

The pic is so nice that I won't even pick on you about the correct spelling of "accoutrements." ;)

And yet another shot. Not sure of the plot, just a very low budget film. It is amazing any more how simple high tech cameras can do the job.

Hi Tom
Is there anything new on the war movie? What's the plot? Any new pictures yet?
It seems like a really cool thing to have happen.

I could probably be talked into buying a Chevy 1 1/2 ton, if it was in good running condition and not all rusted out. (Can't work on 'em any more...why I had to sell my M37. :( )
