Great words, Duke. As a cancer survivor, I feel your emotion and energy. My buddy who writes comic books wants to explore the lives of the saints (Mary of Egypt, Anthony, Christopher) and I told him I would be extremely interested in drawing their stories. Perhaps we will find an audience.

I’d buy it and read it!

Sounds interesting. Will it have airplanes? Has to have airplanes!

Is it alright to share religious art for educational purposes? If not, I will remove the painting. I did take this project out to look at the cockpit again. I am excited to finish the instrument panel. After what Rascal Kenny X did with his Zero engine, at the very least I can try something along those lines with the P&W radial.

I would think that is okay.

I would suggest that you remove those bolt heads on the crankcase cover. If you look at the real deal in the photo, the crankcase cover is smooth.
