I have not been sketching or painting recently, because I have been working on this project. I was asked to build a Currell card model of a V-2 rocket in 1:32 scale from a pre-designed pattern. The pieces are cut out with an utility knife, then assembled using white glue. This is a model of the world's first ballistic missile, built by the Germans during World War II. I have also designed and built a World War II website for TimeMoneyAndBlood.com and may be doing some sketches of military equipment, vehicles, and possibly people and events for their site as well. This will be an interesting new challenge for me. (You can see the artillery animation I created on the top of the home page.)
