    Default Gloster Aircraft Company

    The Gloaster E28 (in background) first flew in 1939 and was Britain's first jet. It was used as a test bed for the engine. The Meteor (foreground) first flew in 1943 and served in WWII, but wasn't allowed to be flown over German held territory for fear they may capture a downed one. Was also used in chasing down V1 flying bombs.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    A quickie?

    I can't imagine how photorealistic your piece would be if you spent time on it!

    Well done, Sir, well done!

    My Best,

    Thanks, Gary. This one only took about 12 hours to create as compared to other work I've done (50-60+ hours). I really got ripped by one guy at another site for not being up to snuff. Oh well, such is life. I just didn't feel like putting that much time into this one.

    Oh...my...God...

    Graham, I'm the poster child for A.D.D., and if a piece takes longer than 1/2 hour for me, I'll forget what it was I was beginning to draw.

    Congrats on another outstanding piece, fella.
