Roxy Posted 11 January , 2013 Share Posted 11 January , 2013 Colin, Excellent work! You'll note from my signature that my family has a connection with 16 RS (and hence Lt Col Sir George McCrae). Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River97 Posted 11 January , 2013 Share Posted 11 January , 2013 Colin, That's unreal. You could sell them and make a fortune. You would have members lining up for these. The only thing I could add is that it would look better if it was sitting in my house and not yours. The artistic talent of this forum never ceases to amaze me. Cheers Andy.

Anneca Posted 11 January , 2013 Share Posted 11 January , 2013 Colin, I can't believe I haven't seen this thread until now - absolutely amazing talent. I was mesmerized with the photos from beginning to end and agree with Andy when he said you could have members lining up for these - I would be one of the first, and it would look much better in my house rather than his. Thank you for giving such an insight into your superb talent which I have found a humbling experience. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfraser Posted 12 January , 2013 Author Share Posted 12 January , 2013 Colin, Excellent work! You'll note from my signature that my family has a connection with 16 RS (and hence Lt Col Sir George McCrae). Roxy Wow - losing 2X family members in the same battalion the same day. That's quite the connection. Glad you and others like the model. I am an amateur but its a fun and satisfying hobby to pursue. Upcoming ideas include Tolkien and his friends, some of the war poets, perhaps some Canadians like Currie and Talbot Papineau, and my Great uncles if i can find a picture of either of them.

Ivor Posted 12 January , 2013 Share Posted 12 January , 2013 What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is excellent andI agree, what a magnificent talent you have. If you are considering doing commissions approximately what price would you charge for something similar starting from scratch? BTW, thanks for sharing this with us.

cfraser Posted 12 January , 2013 Author Share Posted 12 January , 2013 (edited) Thanks for the interest. I am not doing commissions currently but may when I retire. Here's my previous piece for interest (not WWI) - its a portrait of Canadian general Romeo Dallaire who commanded the UN forces in Rwanda during the genocide in 1994. Cheers Colin Edited 12 January , 2013 by cfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River97 Posted 13 January , 2013 Share Posted 13 January , 2013 Colin, That's fantastic. You will have to let us know when you retire, as I want one as well. Your retirement is going to be quite busy. How about you start commissioning these now, as they could pay for the war memorial you have just bought. This way your wife would not have one up on you. Cheers Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfraser Posted 12 May , 2013 Author Share Posted 12 May , 2013 Hi Maroon66 - Welcome aboard! i am sure you will have read Jack Alexander's fine book on the battalion. Jack assisted me with some questions I had on this piece as he is a member of this forum. Thanks for the compliment - much appreciated.
