Ace McGuire Galacteer hero
« on: 20 July 2008, 08:12:41 PM »
Recently I have painted tanks and tanks and tanks for my World at War: German vehicle compendium, what a nice change of mood to paint a true hero of the galactic age:

For me as and old German SF fan he also looks very much like the Perry Rhodan of the 60s.
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de
