WIP: "Join The Navy and See The World!" was what the posters and the recruiters said…
What they "didn't" say was that these sailors would be "somewhere overseas" and up to their eyeballs in "things going on…."
Assigned to the Special Gunboat USS Galveston , they are sent wherever they are needed by the Navy; usually to some backwater location where they are needed, and to keep them out of the eyes of the public… From L to R: LTJG Pulver, Gunners Mate 1st Class Holloman, SMN. Dickie "Lil Dickie" Perkins, SMN Roberts and Harrison… [URL=http://s241.photobucket.com/user/m_murphy_1963/media/Pulp%20Figs/WIP%20Pulp%20Figs/IMG_4870_zps6b9ad358.jpg.html]

That's still a fine shot with an iPhone! The sailors look ready to go against anyone foolish enough to start trouble. Rob |

Thanks Rob! Yeah, these pics came out better than my last ones…. I think I've gotten the hang of the Iphone cam and controlling the yellowish tint… I agree…The boys from The Galveston have a lot of adventures ahead for them! |

You just gotta love those Pulp Figures! Loads of character and a real pleasure to paint. So…where's the Galveston? |

Great stuff, but where's the BAR? Thanks to a certain film you've got to have a BAR, right!? |

And what did we see, we saw the sea.
The Atlantic is not fantastic
and the Pacific is not all it's cracked up to be! |

…You did learn in school that 75% of the world is open ocean, right? Nice set of squids, there. |
