i think this has come up before, but why didnt they build the rest of it, and whats with the door? In "Cloak And Dagger", the film for which the set was built, production only needed to show a closeup on the Alamo church doors. All long shots from the Plaza were of the real Alamo. The Daughters Of The Republic Of Texas do not ordinarily allow film crew inside the actual Alamo, as it is considered a shrine. As for that extra door, you got me davy! Could've been put there for use by the film crews to make lugging around props and camera equipment a lot easier. |

I have an old close-up photo of the Alamo, circa 1917, with my great uncle in his doughboy uniform standing in front of the church door. Clearly, that door has been replaced. I wonder how many doors there have been and how old the current one is. Does anyone know??

 Here's the 'raid for cattle' bridge from the 'Waynamo', at Fort Clark, in Brackettville. (Remember when those two soldado sentries were ambushed by the Texian raiding party and fell backward into the water?) |

 This lively illustration of a very Waynamo-looking Alamo battle was published in our local newspaper's PARADE magazine, back in 1965. |

Nef and all,There is another photo type site i saw awhile back,and one poster there put on fifty or so photos of individual Texian extras from the Alamo garrison that were real nice to look at! It was nice to see the different Hats,Caps,head gear worn.and to top it off you saw diffent coat/jacket styles to boot as well as the different hair styles and facial hair.The best photos i have seen yet of extras! ;D TED.....aka.....cole_blooded |

Your Welcome Nef,some of those fellas looked pretty wild looking!,especially the big guy with a beard who is a former Special Forces trooper!
The variety of hats/caps and coats/jackets was nice indeed to see.i do not think these photos were done by the film company,but one of the extras!

Before he became popular as a fine pen and ink artist, Gary Zaboly dabbled in paint. Here are two early examples of Gary's work. Enjoy!   |

That side shot is a wonderful photo.Yes indeed ,your right about Gary Zaboly and his artwork he has an immense talent! Nef do you figure Zaboly has ever thought about putting a book together showcasing his Alamo artwork? TED.....aka......cole_blooded ;D |

That side view is very cool, you know what would even make it look better?.......Building it in the RIGHT SPOT!!!!!  Although i love (d) the film, the placement of the church has always been a burr under my saddle...  |
