i posted a question on here regards whether anyone has tried doing a dio with specific commanders and or battles in mind, and having got a 'good idea!' response i thought i'd post an address that modellers might find useful when looking for specific names. Its an artwork website, depicting paintings of famous actions and people, so it might come in handy for inspiration. lemme know what you think.

That is pretty cool - I've seen one web site where the artist uses pencil and draws military subjects.
This is very cool - now all I need is some spare change

Thanks for the feedback, RIMA. That is what I love about this site. The fact that everyone is polite, and thankful. I sit here and read all the threads and post things that I think will be helpful or useful and 90% of the time someone says "Thanks." Well, thanks again for thanking me Rima, that is what makes this site go.
