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.

352nd Infantry Division


This is a figure that I am working on this weekend: a soldier from 352nd Infantry Division in Normandy 1944. It's now halfway finished except the rifle sling and the grenade tucked to the waist belt. Will post the finished image when it's done.

It's been snowing here in Toronto this week, well finally. So apart from painting, my other job is to clear the snow in front of my house:-(
