A painting in progress. A patrol of Prussian hussars hails some German infantry taking a breath in a back street in Wissembourg after the battle of the same name that day. That's a French Chasseur lurking in a back garden on the right..

Been messing about in Adobe Illustrator again. this time painting with vector brushes. Redrawing one of my favourite Carl Rochling paintings with a view to maybe producing a huge print. 'The Attack of the First Foot Guards at St Privat'. It's work in Progress as usual. Finding the time to add a couple of figures a day...

Fairey Swordfish MK I

Another work in progress aircraft profile i've been drawing. This is Swordfish W5856, one of the Royal Navy Historic Flight's aircraft. Sporting the livery of 810 squadron embarked on Ark Royal, 1939. I love the old 'stringbag', and have always been proud that these obsolete warhorses fought with courage right through WWII.
