The Man Behind the EAW and WWI Veterans Illustration Series

http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_457a.html

We are indeed fortunate to have an illustrator the quality of Ade involved with EAW and SimHQ too. His lively presence on the boards is always good value, and as for those caricatures...Priceless!

Magnificent job!
Hey Ade, you are the best!!!

Cheers!!!

great article, beautiful (and fun!) illustrations.

btw, in the Tigers Gallery there's an illustration of a german 3 engine passenger plane with a dude sitting in a bucket next to the wheels (http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/RG/char/60%20cord.jpg) ... wtf, Germany, is that for real? I tried looking it up online and couldn't find a thing.

Also, love the f-15 with the air freshener (http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/RG/char/40%20kay.jpg) freakin' hilarious, reminds me of repo man.

Anyways, all those illustrations are wonderful and there are a ton ... time well spent and quite inspiring to boot.

mappo...yep bucket gunners were in fashion
on Ju52's in the late 30's...don't know if
this was voluntary or a punishment!!

here's a couple more soon to be released for
WW1 veterans..

Thanks for the info Ade, and the art. Those buckets must have been a wild ride ... voluntary punishment? Also, I may have to nickname my nickname into mappo!

mappo

in Oz it's a common practice to add an O to a 'christian or
surname depending on which wears it the best.

eg: Peter Jackson...would get Jacko
however Jack Thompson may get both
Jacko and Thommo...

I get Ado a lot...we're a weird mob m8..
thanks for your encouraging words.

Ade's wonderful caricature series was well worth the interruption to his ongoing work on European Air War's long-awaited WWI scenario, "The Western Front"

We at EAW hope he will soon get back to it!
