Most interesting! Quite stubby isn't it?
I always love looking at these; such incredibly deep details!

BROKENEAGLE'S PAINTINGS - update - stolen artwork by AMMO [14th Jan '25]

I am currently really busy 'preping' for my first attendance at the Australian IPMS Expo here in Melbourne since 2019. This will be my first show back selling my art since pre-Covid, so I have a lot to do and have not had time to get on line here much at all and this will continue until after the show in mid June.
However, I am very happy with a new piece that I have just finished, which is a part 2 to my original Brokeneagles 3 Retrieval painting, set in Russia in late 1942. The Pilot is waiting for pickup after a belly landing. This is based on an actual JG3 crash.
Part 2 - Departure, is set after the pilot has been picked up by the Storch. It is later in the day and has a lot more mood to it , concentraing more on the plane itself. It is posing a fundamental question about war itself, as the war machine sits siliently on the steppe, harmless without its pilot......... who is the real war machine, the man or the machine.
Oooh deep!
but really a question that I have contemplated in the past.
Anyway a nice bookend to the story and I was able to deepen the original art to be more contemplative.
*Sorry these images have been vetted for facebook etc. Dangerous to depict real history online these days.

Really good artwork Ian! I think this is one of your best pieces!
Next weekend I am going to Wonderfest in Louisville, Kentucky. Have 2 figure kits that I have been waiting on to finish out a set of 8 that all fit together. These are going to hit me a little, but they are going to be about the last figure kits for quite a while. One is the kit that made me really stop and take a good looksee at these kits and I should have bought it years ago. The other is, I think, about the funniest of the bunch. These days I am mostly focusing on obtaining the AM for kits I have which is enough of a bite in the can.
If it isn't something that I can see me really wanting to build, I am going to be passing on it.
Good luck at your IPMS Expo! Take plenty of photos we would love to see what you all are building in Aussie land.

This is spectacular! I have never tried a military painting. Too many straight lines LOL! I especially love the mood of the second painting. Excellent use of contrast.

Something I have been sketching and coming back to........its the basis for a new sci-fi painting but its still going around and around in my head until my brain sorts out the final idea! 
A giant robot head sitting in the ruins of a city with maybe a small boy with a cart standing looking at it........... maybe. This is just the super ruff idea in a quick sketch.?
What do you think?

The kid should be scavenging parts for sure.

I like like the kid idea too. And a cart full of robot parts. Such a cool idea.

Thanks MP!The kid should be scavenging parts for sure.
I think that probably works best.

STOLEN ARTWORK BY AMMO
So I 'stumbled upon' this just recently when I purchased a Weathering Mag issue from AMMO because it was focusing on Me109's, which is basically a magnet for me. In particular was an article on the Tulip nose K4, which you may recall I did some artwork for Graf's G6 machine with a similar pattern.
After recieving the mag in the post I eagerly opened and started looking through the publication. When I got to the article on the 1/32 K4 'Tulip nose' I discovered that a section of one of my paintings had been used as a backdrop on EVERY page for this section (on some pages the image has been covered by the model photos but the point being it was used as the standard backdrop on every page!
No permission asked for and none given by me, no notification or payment of any kind and not even an acknowledgement of the artist. NOTHING!
I would have allowed them to use it for free as long as they acknowledged my artwork at the start of the article.
Yet I 'laid' my money down for their product without any problem.
?? Go figure - I am in the process now of sending them an email to see what they have to say and whether they will make any kind of payment for using my artwork. I will also be posting this on my facebook page and my website.
Comments welcome.

I hope they compensate you and whoever did the artwork on the other pages as well...
They got the section that didn't have your watermark. Please keep us up to date Ian.
