Hi guys, as some of you may have noticed, my posts have been a little restricted recently, due to a virus and HD failure on my PC. All is now well again, however the cost of sorting it all out has knocked on the head any upgrades in the foreseeable future!
However, with time on my hands, I thought it would be a good idea to get out my paints (acrylicics) after years of sitting in a box and paint some pretty aircraft pictures. I have been pleasantly suprised by how they turned out too! After a bit more practising, I hope to offer myself for commisssions from pilots and the like for original paintings of aircraft from thier careers ect! All for a very good price!!!!!

Here are some practice canvases, sorry about the poor photos, my camera is crap indoors in close up. Better ones to follow.

It's the product of some demented simmer's mind, a couple of years back ;-)
