|  Nice Place you got here! Can't believe I've never stumbled across this place before, in all my 'net wanderings. At any rate, it's good to find such a gathering of people who are passionate about WWII aircraft. I've been a WWII aircraft nut since I was a little kid (it didn't hurt that I grew up in Fairborn, Ohio, within walking distance of the Air Force Museum...which I practically lived at). My Grandfather was Army Air Corps, My father was Air Force, and when it was my turn I went into the USAF as a Strategic Air Command maintenance officer in B-52 Bomb Wings. Mostly as a munitions officer, in charge of both conventional and nuclear organizations, but also a bit of aircraft maintenance and other stuff thrown in there just for fun. So, outside of WWII birds, my first love has to be the good ol' B-52. I've done a couple paintings of WWII a/c, done digital aircraft "skins" for 3D models used by online flight simulators, and continue to buy books on the subject. Used to do plastic scale models, and got pretty good with them--weathering and detailing them "just so", but, it's been a long time since I've done one. Anyway, that's the introduction! See you all in the threads! |

| Greetings from England, Bomb Dog. Like to see your paintings, as I also (try) to earn part of a crust as an artist. When you've got a spare year or so, you can explain to me how a B52 ever gets off the ground!! |
