I’ve always had an affinity for armor, so that is what I build most. But I am very interested in figures too. I love all eras of history – medieval, American Civil War, Napoleonic period, WWII, modern … I have an appreciation for art, and so I love our hobby most when some folks merge what we do into real art.<br> I’ve been writing scale magazine articles and photo-history books for about 15 years now. It started with the Concord 3rd ID in Iraq book and at about the same time I did an article for Military Modelling on an Abrams. My specialty for publishing has become modern US subjects.<br> My books:<br> Thunder Run: The US Infantry Division’s Drive to Baghdad<br> NTC Fort Irwin<br> 21st Century HEMTT and Family Members<br> <a href="https://www.trackpadpublishing.com/uh-60-black-hawk">UH-60 Black Hawk</a> – Available for pre-order. *** Update April 12, Now Shipping! ***<br> I have also been the contributing author to several Sabot Publications books on the Abrams and Bradley. And my photos of US Army subjects have appeared in a few other books.<br> In addition, I have been helping US Army museums over the years with research and displays, including a major model project involving over 40 models at the 3rd ID Museum. A number of my dioramas are on display at different locations at Ft. Stewart (3rd ID).<br> As a result of the above, the 3rd Infantry Division gave me a civilian award for helping to keep the division history over the years.<br> ***************************************<br> WHAT’S ON THE BENCH<br> <br> Stuart<br>
