Just saw this on the Beeb about the paintings of a very talented soldier-artist in Afghanistan: link |

Ah, at 0:18 there is that new hand grip! At 1:24, nice shot of the ladder… the book 3 Para talks about them carrying ladders fro scaling the mud walls to try and get behind the insurgents… I can see I am now going to make some figures with ladders to add to the modern Brit range… Fantastic, artistic and very moving images. Thanks Mark. |

Yes, great drawings. "nice shot of the ladder" In Ross Kemps first outing to Afghanistan the RAR are using ladders as well. |

Very reminiscent of Louis Haghe's watercolors from the First Afghan War. Allen |

Very cool! reminds me of the guy that does the watercolors for the US Navy. Bookmarked. |

These are just brilliant. Thanks RMD. |

Great stuff! And it is good to know that the MoD is hosting the exhibition, which makes the shameful treatment of a Canadian war artist by Canada's DND bureaucracy even more despicable by comparison: link link |

It's much harder than you might think to do people. |
