Through the Lens 6: WW2 Vehicles

.

.

by Jon Feenstra.

Hardback (horizontal 11.9×8.5 inches). 123 pages. 2025.

This is another fine volume in the Through the Lens series, which presents over-sized photos at one per page. Volume 6 offers photos in six groupings, with each group containing 20 photos: Kubelwagen, Tiger II, 88mm gun, S.I.G. 150mm self-propelled gun, Hummel self-propelled gun, and the French tank Somua 35 in German service

My particular favorite is the S.I.G. and halftrack convoy. Runner up: a Tiger I stranded in a snowy ditch with the rest of the platoon following on the farm track and a couple more in the background seeming to be on overwatch.

TTL 6 does an excellent job of presenting WWII black and white photos. These 120 black and white photos offers exquisite views for modelers and wargamers.

Enjoyed it.

The Making of Tomb Raider: 1997-2000

by Daryl Baxter. Hardback (8.5×12.0 inches). 251 pages. 2026. This is not the making of the movie, its sequel, or the reboot. The movies pop up on TV from time to time and I enjoy from time to time. No, this is a history of the making of the video
