I enjoy studying military history and I may get back to building models. I inherited a Tamiya King Tiger tank from my brother that has been collecting dust under my desk. I may break that open come some cold wet weekend.

Thank you - for the time being I plan on participating with the public threads. I have no problems tuning out the spammers and the haters. It comes with the territory.

Drawing people is fun - drawing tanks is tough.

My feeling is that art allows emotional expression. I pushed the red sky here to drive home the intensity of an early morning drop during WWII.

Here is a sketch of Brigadier Lindsay Inglis - commander of the 4 New Zealand Infantry Brigade that fought in Create 1941. I liked his pipe.

I have used many of his arguments about the failure to hold Crete, he was a very interesting man.

That is one area of WWII history that I need to do more research (I think I did a better job on the pipe)
