The size will be A1 so it's quite large! I want to run it as a limited edition print so I'll need numbers for order so that I can 'bulk run' it. I'm hoping to get it to around Â£35 - Â£45 apiece - if there's that much demand - the more the cheaper. Each one will be personally signed, numbered and dated by me.
Anyone interested - please PM me. Thanks.

Hi all
Thanks for the interest.
Right, I've been to the printers, they will now scan the artwork into their digital mularkey and on Friday I should see a proof and get a copyright protected digital image to put on here, at that time I will quote the price per print and how many prints will constitute the Limited Edition run.

Remember, if you want a picture that you've not seen on here, ask me and I'll see what I can do.
After the Cambrai pic I will be doing another but, of Armoured vehicles since WW1 or at least as many as I can pit on the sheet!!
Thanks once more to you all for your support and kind words.

Update
Printers are having probs with their software/scanning on the Cambrai piece - hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll still have a good copy to post tomorrow........................that is if anyone is still watching and listening? The print will run to a numbered edition of 195 only so, if people are interested and are waiting, don't wait too long, PM me. This picture will also be put up for purchase in Australia and Canada once I have the proof and contact the relevant places/people.

UPDATE
The anniversary pic is now scanned but, I can't get the digital image on here till Monday!

Either way the cost has worked out at Â£40 + p&p which should be under a fiver. I should be ready to start despatch by next Friday.

Apologies but it's taken longer than expected - printer's...............but, either way here is the finished print now, muster round and get anyone who hasn't ordered....to order. Remember it's A1 sized so it's about 84 x 60cm's.

I will be picking up the first prints Friday to despatch soonest. Price incl P&P is Â£45. Sorry, couldn't get it cheaper but, hopefully you'll agree it's worth the money.
Those of you that have ordered already....Thankyou. I now need address confirmations asap and I'll return payment details. The simplest way is by bank transfer if you internet bank or cheque of course. Either way PM me and let me know addresses and how you wish to pay. ASAP please.
Thanks for everyone's support, there will only be 195 signed and numbered of these. Incidently - Malcyart will Not be printed across the prints!!!!!

A recent commission to show what can be achieved. A bit more expensive as it can take longer than conventional ink line work. Either way see what you think. Once again I need a bigger scanner so sorry about the poor photo quality.

A3B...Got my anniversary print today and delighted with it. Urge RTR folk to consider purchasing it...would also look good in Messes etc. Also so everybody else knows I got Number 3...cheers mate!!!

Twas in the Printers within the hour, slighly dismayed at the framing costs but eh oh.....thought about asking Tech if they had a few pallets that I could have made my own frame with and hung it with some D10 but I suppose TT would have had something to say on the subject.

The guy down the framers reckoned it was very good.....mind I made a right twaatttt of my self...as when he gave me the quote I said "Hells Bells....Nah..the geezer around Frame and Cane has quoted 20 quid less than that...and I will whip it back to him!" "You just come from there then?" "Yep" I replied...."Thats funny.....he has not opened on a Tuesday for the last 3 years!!!!".......

...."When can I pick it up.....?" Enquired I as I ran out the door!!

Very good work A3B...and will hang it at the foot of my bed in place of the Samantha Fox montage!

Back up all Trelawney has said. You should have checked out Steve P for framing he is only 1/2 hour down the road from you.

Number 3 & I thought it was a limited edition

Those artworks are exceptional, proper talent you have.

Just out of interest how long do you spend doing a typical piece?

Top work

It varies greatly mate.
An average A3 size in ink turns around in about a week in my spare time having normally done a pencil outline and emailing for approval prior to detailing/inking.
the pencils like OOOOBBBBAAAAAA20 Centurian takes slightly longer due to the shading effects I want.
The anniversary piece took a couple of weeks as I had to be absolutely sure it was what I wanted. You wouldn't believe how many times I start over cos I'm not satisfied!!!!
I've now got the RAAC Tank Museum interested in my handywork!!!! Oh the pressure!!!!!
P.S I do wicked CVR(T) pics too!!!
