Spasm Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks again Frank, took me ages to get the runway, roads and beaches in the right alignment and from an angle above. Had to draw from aerial photos of the time and not too obscured by clouds. The northern (Yorke Bay) and southern beach (Surf Bay) can be seen as white arcs.

Spasm Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Thought I'd copy ya'll into a few more recent paintings: First up is a painting of a Panzer Badge and Cert that I have. Interesting in that it is dated early January 1945 and to a member of the Lehr Div Jager Abt. 130 who were in action around Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge: No idea who the signature is though. Next up is a Purple Heart certificate and medal overlaid with a WW2 M4 M1 bayonet. Made by Imperial but came with a late 1960/70s WD made scabbard. Next is a painting of a Hindenburg Widow's cross and the original certificates bought from a GMIC member Painting of a Guardsman's medals, memorial scroll, King's letter and plaque complete with all the envelopes and postal stamps: Edited June 2, 2017 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Painting of a small group I have to a sailor who was awarded the war badge in August 1943. I have a few of his other photos, one of which includes all of the crew with their names written on the reverse: A Commando service certificate overlaid with campaign stars, a marine cap badge and a mint FS fighting knife: And, my painting of a group to a Senior Sgt. tank driver who was awarded the Stalingrad Defence Medal. Along with his award certificate and a few other bits and bobs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorka Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Nice! Thank you for sharing!!! What technique is that? Acryl? Mixed? On the Soviet theme picture I can say that the background you chose must be vertical. There is no way any ojects could have stayed on it Edited June 2, 2017 by Egorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks Egorka, it's mixed media as I use a sprayed intercoats to protect the layers of pencil drawing and washes as I progress, particularly if I'm airbrushing (not that I use much airbrushing these days - I can't be bothered getting it out and cleaning the thing afterwards). All the colours are acrylic paint. Yes, I had problems with keeping the items on the side of the T34 but superglue and gaffer tape sorted that out Edited June 2, 2017 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
