Not sure if Paul is still a member but I would like to say a big thank you for your work on The London in Peril story in Complete Works volume 3. This is the story that got me interested in the BAF stories and had me wanting to read more also the one I wanted to see re-printed the most and coloured thanks for your great work.

He sure is! His forum ID is Crimson Rage.

Paul is currently battling his way through the epic Desert Strike!

i shall look forward to seeing that coloured since i recently read that on the archives in b&w...

[jamarmiller]

he is also doing A LOT OF WORK on ACTION FORCE RED DAWN too

hes awesome and been a real life saver and moral booster for all things AF on this site

we love ya Paul!

and thanks Ironblood for starting this thread

I wish more people would e-mail or pm the colorist and do just this.

I had one guy who did 20 pages for us and did a really good job and when I asked him 6 months later if he got any thank yous from anyone other than me, he said NOTHING, so he of course didnt do ANYMORE coloring for us.

I can't wait to see desert strike in colour I need inspiration for my group of Gibli I only have 2 so far. It's great he's working on Red Dawn too Jamar.

[Chopper]

Amen to that, Ironblood.

Too right I'm still a member, especially considering my other main place for visiting (The 'other site', aka PISS WANK) get's worse by the day. Trouble is, Jamar has me chained to my colouring desk and I barely get the chance to post anymore!

So thanks, I do appreciate the praise and it doesn't fall of deaf ears - Doing the colouring is harder than I thought it would be, so knowing that folk like it helps a lot. I got the books myself last week and was mightily impressed with all three volumes (and the work of all the colourists)

And DESERT STRIKE is proving to be (in my opinion) my favourite story to colour so far and consequently, turning out a lot better. As long as the Baron doesn't mind, here's a sneak preview:

[jamarmiller]

god I wish I could colour like that!

[The Baron]

I've said to him before that I think he should go professional.

[Red Laser]

I agree to that Baron. I did look at this story in the archive to see if there was a link between the Gibli and the Red Shadows as I want to make up a unit of them for my Shadow Army but couldn't find any connection between the two.
