@Gunfighter: Wouldn´t mind to see that in-game. Awesome
Don´t know why, but I like this one, taken before Magnum Opus. It is just a splash, but... I like it

Amazing what experimentation can do. Great composition.

The one above it, with the Spitfire, looks like it's drawing blood. From metal? Creepy.

Default Attack on the Bismark

The cockpit appears too modern. The attack on the Bismark was by planes, launched from ships I believe. One of them dropped a torpedo which hit the Bismark's rudder, jamming it. But you probably know the story better than me. Weren't you flying that plane?

In 1941 they had Spitfire Mk Vs at hand, but none of them had the range to reach the area of the Bismarck battle. The only British planes in that region were were the Swordfish that made it possible for the battleships to catch her, and they flew off carriers, and long-range patrol planes such as the Catalina that found her in the first place.

Great shot mate but this SH3 picture of the actual 'attackers' involved (Swordfish) is a little more accurate.

Great shot though



*On a side note* We still need 3 or 4 wins for premiership survival now that the hot head/mercenary has gone.

Default charles russell

Russell along with Frederick Remington, was a famous 19th century painter and sculptor of the early American West. Most of his work deals with Cowboy and Cowboy paintings and sculturers. Russell had a sense of humor and would label his paintings, such as "It ain't supper till its in the pan" which is a painting of a cowboy wonder how he will get a bighorn sheep that he killed off of a cliff overlooking a canyon. You can see a lot of his images on the web.
