Activities for the winter…

I am back into drawing. Using iconic WW2 subjects for inspiration. It’s cheap, indoors, passes the time and it’s fun.

Very good, Simon. With your drawings and Stephen's "late night" drawings of iconic aircraft, you two could mount an exhibition.

Nice work!

The Stuka was a beast of an aircraft, remove all the negative connotations of being a Nazi machine of war, and it’s just a badass aircraft, just one of many amazing flying machines Germany created.

But, I thought this thread was about something else:

The Stuka was a very interesting aircraft, but it wouldn’t be my choice to fly. It’s a good one to draw ✍️ !

I have a drawing of a Stuka in my studio somewhere. I drew the Condor legion version, which is the group the luftwaffe ‘loaned’ to Franco to attack Guernica.

Those are awesome Simon. How did you colorize the tank, is it all some type of colored pencils? I have terrible sketching and drawing skills I don't know what happened, my sister's very good. The closest I could get was building plastic models as a kid. I always regarded the boeing flying boat to be the most magical plane. ✨️
