Entranced. Even with the skill, i don't think that i could match the art in crafting these pictures that have been posted.
I just keep going over them! As new to the forum, iv'e seen mentioned on some posts that these maybe part of a book or CD.
Is this to be released?
Many thanks for any information.

Personally, I think these images could be put to a very good use.
If an image from a particular battle could be worked into a particular cemetery .. as has already been done ... then I would be confident that at certain 'points of sale' i.e. Ulster Tower, Tyne Cot, Thiepval .. they could be VERY big sellers as postcards/posters for framing. With the percentages worked out correctly they could provide much needed financial fuel for an organisation close to all our hearts .. the CWGC springs to mind.

Thanks to all, I am currently in discussions with reference to moving towards publishing 200 images for a book.
Costs and time are all that is in the way at the moment however late 2010 or early 2011 is my aim for completion.
(Des, interesting points - will be looking into this further).
More to follow.
