Picture 1: My room – christ, what a mess. This was used to help me draw some of the aircrew walking away from camera (one of my weaknesses)
Picture 2: Bristol Beaufighter – the bubble on the top – normally a plastic window, has been replaced here by plastiscine as I ..er.. lost the plastic window inside the plane. Don’t judge me!
Picture 3: Another Beufighter shot, in the background you should see the schematic of the cockpit dashboard of an actual Vickers Wellington Mark III – this is actually three images, the view to the left of the pilot, the forward view and the right hand view – helpfully labelled ‘port’, ‘cockpit’ and ’starboard’ respectively, so I wouldn’t mix them up. I still did, though…
Picture 5: And, finally, B for Beer. In all her glory – I apologise to people who make models – these noble planes deserved more respect than then horrific paint job I enacted on them, but, in the end, I needed the paint job to help me draw them…

Very nice! Expect for the Tesco bag, where does that appear in the story exactly?
I’m really looking forward to picking up issue #2, this is definitely equal with Tankies as the best Battlefields story yet!
Agreeeeed (with Ed)! It’s really awesome to see your process. Can’t wait for the Tesco bag panel!
Great stuff, thanks for showing process, I find this side of comic book production quite fascinating.
Tell you what, you’ve done a grand job rendering that wellington, looks awesome.
