This small truck would be used to tow light artillery (anti-tank guns) or utility trailers with ammunition or other supplies. This vehicle is fitted with anchor points which will allow the truck to be dropped by parachute along with a team of paratroops. It is designed for all-terrain use and is amphibious. ..."

I've always been fascinated and impressed with this kind of illustration because it really gives you a understandable look at the interiors of things and how they work as opposed to overly complex diagrams and plans. I figured I'd start with something relatively easy, as submarines are basically tubes with stuff in them; no really difficult architecture and straightforward arrangement of things. Of course, I forgot some details like ballast tanks and such but it at least looks..."

This is purely made-up and a product of my imagination, thus there are bound to be many technical errors. It was only my second attampt at a cutaway illustration so it's as experimental as the plane..."

The configuration allows the sub to operate on the surface but presenting little or no radar reflection. This way, covert missions can be deployed and retrieved close to enemy shorelines without attracting..."

Some of the gems adorning the cover are actually fancy plastic buttons from a fabric store. The interior has been hollowed out to hide whatever will fit (mummified monkey paw, sacred amulet or in my case, a compact watercolour..."

I thought what a great steam-powered car I could make. I didn't have any Meccano, though and wasn't likely to get any at the time as it was nearly impossible to find in Canada back then. Many years later, I was on a trip to Switzerland and found a toy store that had all kinds of new Meccano sets that had just been released. I bought the biggest and best set in the shop and the first thing I thought of was that I could finally try to build that steam car I wanted to have. Well, after some studying of the materials I had and some planning, I finally built it and it worked just like I hoped it would. (unfortunately, I disassembled it some time ago before I had any access to video so I don't have any footage of the machine in..."

I then assembled and finished the components into the result you see here. The embryo is about four inches tall and the cylinder measures about 13 inches when sealed. I eventually found a use for it as a cover illustration for a local SF anthology..."

Straps and belts were made from fake suede, riveted with the heads of straight pins. Weapons were either cast in resin or made from metals like silver and bronze. The figures of both the rider and the dino were armatured with heavy wire wrapped with aluminum foils to bulk out the basic shapes. Final detailing was done with fine jeweller's chain, beads and a pair of plastic taxidermy-type eyes. The dino and rider stand about 12 inches tall with another 7 for the..."
