falcon012 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I didn't see a forum area for military art so I guess this is as good a place as any to post this piece. One of the most recognizable vehicles from World War II, the M3 Half Track was adopted for a wide variety of roles. Fitted with a quad .50 caliber machine gun mount, the vehicle was known as the M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage. The Half Track is accompanied by another iconic vehicle, the GMC CCKW 6X6 truck known as the "Deuce And A Half". This print depicts a patrol featuring both vehicles in the European Theater of Operations during the winter of 1944. The client for this one wanted a cold winter scene, American military vehicles (no tanks) and a winter of '44 feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buckeye Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Very nice. Love the "winter" feel. Proboably much closer to the reality for most GI's of that time. Father and uncle could both probably relate. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Wow.... Very well done, it really grabs your attention. Wish you would post a larger pic, I'd love to check out all the details. I really like the interaction between the grunts and the M16 crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
