Its a hobby... If Al Gore can set upon the world with a bunch of models with hockey sticks then why not me too? Though my children are wondering why, after the last cliffhanger with terrorists in the lobby and the SEALs already on the roof, it's taking me so long to finish the next episode but this is all part of my scheme, to show them that rewarding things can take time and that the journey can often be as fun as the destination.
I've been drawn to Poser by the timesaving possibilities of re-using characters and props. But since the centre of my universe, known in my day-job as the Indo-West Pacific, overlaps little with many Poser stock catalogues I sometimes find myself having to improvise. The discipline required to make models from scratch helps me to appreciate the effort that others invest into them. I'm as willing to use freebies as the next hobbyist but its a real godsend, free or not, when someone produces a prop or figure that by some chance belongs exactly in world I'm creating.
The images in this gallery tell no particular story. I've posted them in the off-chance they are of interest to others and to advertise things that interest me about the sometimes sad but often rich history and culture of the Asia-Pacific region. The works are usually inspired by ideas and thoughts that come to me as I trawl the web for inspiration, or they might be tests of techniques in particular software or outings of models and textures I'm making for the project. I hope you enjoy them.

Beautiful sunset image and great to know that there is a memorial to all those caught up in this tragic historical event. It is a shame that nothing of the Aircraft survives but as you point out we can't keep everything. Also as fascinating as these would be for all us too young to remember the war, i'm guessing that most people then while still remembering those who never survived wanted to put those years of horror behind them hence a lot of war surplus sold off as scrap. Remarkable story told in a remarkable way by you. Appreciate all the work you must have put into this. Well done :)

By remembering them in your artwork you insure that the sacrifices will never go unremembered, nor unappreciated. They did what they had to, and they achieved something that has lasted as a result. Let us always remember that the great majority of Allies were right where they chose to be when the battles raged. Excellent Imaging (especially the setting sun) and thank you for the concept. Very Well Done.

Rememberance is the greatest memorial...it never corrodes or gets misplaced as long as one person remembers and shares the history,it stays alive.A truly inspired series, a compelling story and some stunning art, as I said at the outset, hadn't heard of this, I'm truly gratefull you chose to share it in such a entertaining, educational and respectful way.Rendo's '5' does not come close, we need a special gold star rating and you'd get 10...applause and big thumbs up and a huge personal THANKS from me!!
