Seeing the outstanding pilot episode "The Good Old Days" (hence the title Project Tiger Moth) gave me a boost of motivation to take outdoor photos (about time) recreating four shots from it. They were all taken in the backyard beside the shed save for the Toby and Gordon one, which I took on a higher spot in front of my room's window. Combined with the (currently) unpainted walls, the gritty concrete surface gives a great look for locations devoid of grass. Been wanting to take at least one shot like this there for a while.

The hard part for me to get right was the wye that Percy and the trucks are on, going by that screenshot alone. One section even had two female ends meeting and, therefore, wasn't connected. Good thing it turned out alright minus the curve behind Percy. The fifth truck is darker than the other four, so I recalled having a black one from the Ultimate Set.

What look to be faraway mountains/hills in the last shot is actually the thick side of another synthetic grass sheet. Unintentional, but still adds a lot. Fun fact: Sir Topham Hatt and his car in the OG shot are not replicas, but are among a few props from the real show that made their way into it; like how the Magic Railroad viaduct was later used in the Parody. Despite lacking effort in certain areas, I like how these tribute photos turned out.
