Hi All,
I would just like to share with you all this original Richard Scollins artwork, purchased this morning.

Rick Scollins was one of the most popular artists ever to work for Osprey. He was born in 1946 and pursued a career as an artist after four years at art college and a postgraduate teaching course at Cardiff. Rick quickly developed a distinct style and, despite being a pacifist, he gained a feel for military subjects. His artwork was always realistic and is highly sought after by collectors. Rick Scollins died in 1992. (taken from the Osprey site)

cheers
Richie

Hi 90th,
Agreed a sad loss and an excellent well respected military artist and illustrator. I hope I can pick up more of his Zulu war artwork at a later date.
