Villers-Bocage

This is a painting that I'd done showing some of the British Cromwells during the Battle of Villers-Bocage on June 13, 1944. On this fateful day for the British 7th Armoured Division, the German Tiger tank Ace, Michael Wittmann, led his Tiger tanks charged into Villers-Bocage and inflicted heavy loss to the British.The image shows Lt. John Cloudsley-Thompson's Cromwell tried to rear backward into an alley when Major Arthur Carr's Cromwell was knocked out by Wittman's Tiger.

Tank accidents

Here are some interesting photos of tank accidents.

D-day landing

This is a book cover that I'd done which shows the US infantry landing the Omaha Beach at Dog Green sector on D-day.

Polish Winged Hussar

For anyone who is interested in Polish Winged Hussar, the book "Husaria The Winged Horsemen " ( ISBN 83-223-2682-3 ) is a worthwhile photo reference. The book is in both Polish and English text and comes with a lot of photos of the armor and weapons used by the Winged Hussar ( shown here with a scan of the page with various helmets. Another book about the subject is the Art in Poland ( ISBN 0-88397-131-3 ) which also contains very nice ( and large photos ) of the Winged Hussar's armor and weapons. And to see the hussars in action, "With Fire and Sword" is also a nice reference too.



Both books helped me a lot in sculpting my 120mm Winged Hussar ( see images below ). The model was sculpted in 1999, material used is Sculpey and took me 3 months to finish the model. It won me a gold medal at the 2000th MMSI's ( Military Miniature Society of Illinois ) Chicago Show.
