My most recent interest has been collecting
and
enhancing 1/6 scale (12" tall) figurines.
These are best compared to the "G.I. Joes" of
the 1960's, but with much more
detail and accuracy.
It was common practice during WWII for pilots to
decorate the backs of their leather flight
jackets
with pin-up art, often mimicking the art applied to
their aircraft. The pieces below are painted in a
combination
of acrylics and oils, faithfully
duplicating actual, vintage artwork. The jackets
themselves are commercially available
items, made
for the figures mentioned above. They are shown
here at slightly larger than actual size.
