Canadian History Web Site

[Dan Morton]

Here's an interesting Great War web site filled with short film clips, illustrations, photos and info on the Canadian forces and their battles.

Some incredible footage. I am very impressed with the apparent restoration work done on film that is 90 years old. Thanks Dan

Dan, I've been to that site before. The footage is fantastic. It's amazing watching fil that is almost 100 years old.~Gary

Hey Dan:

Great resource, and not only for modelling. I'll be taking a group of high school students on a tour of WW I and WW II Canadian battlefields this spring, and I think I could use this site for a great pre-trip "assignment" prior to our departure. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

Pete, No problem, but credit for this one goes to one of Pf's resident WW1 gurus Dan Morton. ~Gary

Gary - Hey, I just stumble around web sites looking for stuff I need for WWI figures I want to do.

OK, now you've gone and done it. If you continue to refer to me as a "guru", I'm going to have to refer to you as a "sculpting genius" or something. Not a threat - I really do consider you a genius or PDQ, Gary, but maybe we better just tone down the rhetoric or somethin'. Whaddayathink? :lol:

All the best,
Dan

Dan, Okay...I guess ~Gary

Gary - Seriously, I do consider you a sculpting guru and a master!

I really enjoy providing whatever little support I can to fellow sculptors doing WWI pieces, but really, I'm just a web stumbler.

SO - when are you going to do a WWI figure?

All the best,
Dan

Dan, After I've finish up my current projects and a few commissions I may do one. I'm not sure what it'll be but more than likely will be a 54mm figure of some sort, unless I find something that might make a nice bust.~Gary

Awright, Gary!

Glad to hear it!

Need any ideas?

All the best,
Dan
