It was fine thank Marty

, Rick my brother took over half time selling drawings doing better than me, It was amazing describing how I do each drawing, the Friday evening setting up was more amazing, meeting the other display group/tables .. most were weapons , everything from heavy/light machine guns to RPG's .. books .. I really needed a wheelbarrow

Maybe you would have a market with them if you started producing drawings of their weapons which they could keep on display rather than locked in a cupboard somewhere

Would have been an idea walking around drawing the machine gun in its setting , all the little chips and manufacturing lumps and bumps .... the welds

Cool. I know we've talked about this on Teamspeak Ian, the many side benefits of this virtual interest of ours, but history, and geography, hell even geopolitics these days, are the things I get out of it the most.

It is as just exciting for me, like having everyone looking over your shoulder and see the real workings, one handy thing with today media world... a mini watch and history and art lesson all in one

OK Got Choo Choo now looking the part but now, I'm want to move the other Thunderbolt further out and turn the main subject and turn it post strike.
The time creating or getting the specifics correct and the scaling .... another decider is having the engine jumping to get it some life, after that comes the true
destruction and movement off everything happen , and the environment .

amazing process

by **toprob** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 8:13 pm

Yeah, speaking as someone who has no artistic talent at all, it really blows me away when someone can bring something to life with a few pencil strokes.

by **Ian Warren** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 10:37 pm

Thanks Marty lot changed again tonight
