    Hi folks

    Good to be here. I am a World War Two enthusiast (but not an expert) from the south coast of the UK. My main hobby is building my Second World War website and (slowly) trying to learn how to colourise b/w images so no doubt I'll be picking various people's brains on here for information, ideas and suggestions etc :)

    You could post the b/w next to the color so people could pick the one they like.

    No, I prefer the original b&w ones to coloured in ones.

    In case you missed my correction: ww2talk.com, not ww2t.com

    Thanks for that - what is the difference between the two sites?

    WW2Talk.com is our 'sister' site (see below) ::: more Euro specific.

    The other one is a game I think?

    Glad to have you. I think posting the b&w and colorized one next to each other is a good idea. I also think visiting the other sites would be beneficial. Meanwhile, enjoy your time here. Contribute anything you find interesting.

    One's a well respected site, the other leads to a minotaur's den. Free choice, of course.

    Apologies - I meant what is the difference between this site and WW2Talk.com :)

    But if one is more UScentric and the other more Eurocentric, then that's fine with me. :)
