Talk of peace with Pakistan Taliban angers victims
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Hazratullah Khan, who lost his right leg below the knee in a car bombing, answers immediately when asked whether the Pakistani government should hold peace talkswith Taliban leaders responsible for attacks like the one that maimed him.
"Hang them alive," said the 14-year-old, who survived the explosion on his way home from school. "Slice the flesh off their bodies and cut them into pieces. That's what they have been doing to us."
Khan, who is from the Khyber tribal region, pondered his future recently at a physical rehabilitation center in Peshawar.
"What was my crime that they made me disabled for the rest of my life?" he asked as he touched his severed limb.
In recent weeks, the Pakistani government and Taliban forces fighting in northwestern tribal areas have expressed an interest in peace talks to end the years-long conflict. An estimated 30,000 civilians and 4,000 soldiers have died in terrorist attacks in Pakistan since Sept. 11, 2001 — many at the hands of the Pakistani Taliban.
To many victims of Taliban violence, the idea of negotiating with people responsible for so much human pain is abhorrent. Their voices, however, are rarely heard in Pakistan, a country where people have long been conflicted about whether the Taliban are enemies bent on destroying the state or fellow Muslims who should be welcomed back into the fold after years of fighting.
The Associated Press spoke with victims of terrorist attacks in Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta and the tribal areas and their families to find out how they felt about negotiating peace with the Taliban.
Khan's classmate, Fatimeen Afridi, who was also injured in the same bombing in Khyber, said he would be happy to see negotiations with the militants — but only after those who maimed him were punished. Afridi's left leg was amputated below the knee, shattering his dream of becoming a fast bowler on Pakistan's cricket team.
"If I find them, I will throw them in a burning clay oven," he said.
The push for peace talks gained momentum in December when the leader of the Pakistani Taliban offered to negotiate. The government responded positively, and even hinted that the militants would not need to lay down their weapons before talks could begin. That would be a reversal of the government's long-held position that any talks be preceded by a ceasefire.
So far, there have been few concrete developments, and it's unclear whether Pakistan's powerful military supports negotiations.
Skeptics doubt the militants truly want peace and point to past agreements with the Taliban that fell apart after giving militants time to regroup. Others say negotiations are the only option since numerous military operations against the Taliban have failed.
The biggest question — especially for many of the Taliban's victims — is whether the Taliban will have to pay any price for the people they are believed to have killed and wounded. The government hasn't said whether it would offer the Taliban amnesty for past offenses.
Many of the victims feel forgotten, saying no one has asked their opinion about holding peace talks. They have to fight for what little health care they can obtain, and there's almost no assistance for dealing with psychological trauma caused by the attacks.
Dr. Mahboob-ur-Rehman runs a private medical complex in Peshawar, a large facility that houses a prosthetic workshop and a therapy school, where both Khan and Afridi are being treated. Rehman said the Pakistani army has a state-of-the-art facility to treat its soldiers while there is little help for civilians. He estimated that roughly 10,000 civilians have been permanently disabled after losing limbs in Pakistani Taliban attacks.
In the southern city of Karachi, 12-year-old Mehzar Fatima was shot in the back when a gunman killed her father, a Shiite Muslim. The sectarian groups often accused of carrying out such attacks are closely aligned with the Pakistani Taliban. The gunshot left her unable to move her legs and feet and she fears she might never use them again.
Her mother, Kishwar Fatima, said she's being pressured to leave the hospital where the girl is being treated because there's no government assistance to help pay her bills.
Those wounded in the violence feel further victimized because many Pakistanis don't even agree on who is to blame for their suffering.
Despite the huge loss of life and property, the views of many Pakistanis are influenced by right-wing, anti-American propaganda that spawns conspiracy theories about the terrorist attacks. Fellow Muslims could never commit acts of violence against their own people, they say, so someone else must be to blame. Some theories suggest U.S. and Indian intelligence agencies support the Taliban and other militant groups to destabilize Pakistan.
Some people who support the militants think the Taliban are better than many of Pakistan's corrupt politicians who have failed to deliver good governance. Many Pakistanis also say the militant problems in the tribal areas are a result of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan and when the U.S. leaves, the Pakistani Taliban will also stop fighting.
Even some of the victims aren't sure who is to blame.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for a Feb. 2 suicide attack that killed 23 people in the northwestern city of Lakki Marwat. But Mohammad Shafi, whose 24-year-old son was among nine soldiers killed in the explosion, isn't convinced the attackers were members of the Taliban. He says Muslims would never hurt a fellow Muslim.
Instead, Shafi thinks his son — a boxer who never lost a fight before he was shot seven times during the attack on an army post — was killed by Hindu agents that archrival India sent, with U.S. assistance, to destabilize Pakistan. He said Pakistan should sever ties with the U.S. to abolish terrorism.
"If my son was killed by infidels, he has been martyred and will go to heaven," he said.
Confusion over who is responsible for the deadly violence also has some victims wondering if the Pakistani government makes peace with the Taliban, will it also make peace with other militant groups.
Will the government, for instance, hold talks with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a group linked to al-Qaida that is accused of killing more than 175 Shiite Muslims during the past two months in the southwestern city of Quetta?
Ghazanfar Ali lost his 24-year-old son in one of these attacks on Jan. 10 in Quetta. Another of his sons survived the same attack after three major surgeries.
Ali broke down in tears as he recalled sifting through rubble and identifying his son's body by the ring he had on his finger because his head and face were wounded beyond recognition.
"There can't be peace with the Taliban," he said. "They slaughter a son in front of his father and then chant 'God is great!'"

Meniscectomy for a Meniscus Tear
Surgery Overview
Meniscectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of a torn meniscus. A meniscus tear is a common knee joint injury. Surgeons who perform meniscectomies (orthopedic surgeons) will make surgical decisions based on the meniscus's ability to heal as well as your age, health, and activity level.
Your doctor will likely suggest the treatment that he or she thinks will work best for you based on where the tear is, the pattern of the tear, and how big it is. Your age, your health, and your activity level may also affect your treatment options. In some cases, the surgeon makes the final decision during surgery, when he or she can see the how strong the meniscus is, where the tear is, and how big the tear is.
- If you have a small tear at the outer edge of the meniscus (in what doctors call the red zone), you may want to try home treatment. These tears often heal with rest.
- If you have a moderate to large tear at the outer edge of the meniscus (red zone), you may want to think about surgery. These kinds of tears tend to heal well after surgery.
- If you have a tear that spreads from the red zone into the inner two-thirds of the meniscus (called the white zone), your decision is harder. Surgery to repair these kinds of tears may not work.
- If you have a tear in the white zone of the meniscus, repair surgery usually isn't done, because the meniscus may not heal. But partial meniscectomy may be done if torn pieces of meniscus are causing pain and swelling.
There are different types of meniscus tears. The pattern of the tear may determine whether a tear can be repaired. Horizontal and flap tears typically require surgical removal of at least part of the meniscus.
How it is done
The choice of type of surgery is based on the size and location of the tear, your age and activity level, the surgeon's experience, and your preferences. Orthopedic surgeons most often perform meniscus surgery with arthroscopy, a procedure used to both examine and repair the inside of a joint. A thin tube (arthroscope) containing a camera and light is inserted through small incisions near the joint. Surgical instruments are inserted through other small incisions. Arthroscopic surgery may limit knee damage from surgery and may promote fuller recovery. But some tears may require open knee surgery.
In a total meniscectomy, the entire meniscus is removed. In a partial meniscectomy, the surgeon removes as little of the meniscus as possible. Unstable meniscal fragments are removed, and the remaining meniscus edges are smoothed so that there are no frayed ends.
You may have general or regional anesthesia for a meniscectomy. Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is commonly done in an outpatient surgical center.
What To Expect
Rehabilitation (rehab) varies depending on the injury, the type of surgery, your orthopedic surgeon's preference, and your age, health status, and activities. Time periods vary, but meniscus surgery is usually followed by a period of rest, walking, and selected exercises. Most people who have arthroscopic meniscectomy can bear weight a day or two after surgery and can return to full activity within 2 to 4 weeks. After the full range of motion without pain is possible, you can return to your previous activity level.
The timetable for returning to walking, driving, and more vigorous activities will depend on the type and extent of the surgery and your success in rehab.
To learn about some exercises you can do at home (with your doctor's approval), see:
Why It Is Done
A decision to remove all or part of your meniscus will take into consideration the location, length, tear pattern, and stability of the tear as well as the condition of the whole meniscus. Your surgeon will also consider the condition of the entire knee, your age, and any age- or injury-related degeneration.
If a meniscus tear is causing pain or swelling, it probably means that torn pieces of the meniscus need to be removed and the edges surgically shaved to make the remaining meniscus smooth. Your orthopedic surgeon will try to preserve as much meniscal tissue as possible to prevent long-term degeneration of your knee and allow you to return to full activities.
How Well It Works
Removing the whole meniscus generally reduces some symptoms. But losing the meniscus reduces the cushioning and stability of the joint. Most people, especially if they are young or active, are not satisfied with a total meniscectomy. This is why surgeons try to remove as little of the meniscus as possible.
Studies of partial meniscectomy have shown that 78% to 88% of people have good results from partial meniscectomy. This means that 78 to 88 people out of 100 people who have this surgery have decreased symptoms and are able to return to most or all of their activities.footnote 1
Meniscectomy is generally well tolerated and does not usually cause complications. But there is a risk of damaging the nerves during surgery.
There is a direct relationship between the amount of meniscus tissue that is surgically removed and the load distribution across the knee. If more tissue is removed, the knee is less able to sustain the load of walking, running, or other activities. With uneven load distribution, degeneration of the knee joint may happen at a faster pace than it would with an intact meniscus.
In any surgery, there is risk of infection or bleeding. And there are risks with general or regional anesthesia.
What To Think About
Surgical repair is generally favored over a partial or total meniscectomy. If the meniscus can be repaired successfully, it reduces the risk of knee joint degeneration that may occur with removal of all or part of the meniscus.

The cutaway drawing and its artists
Posted 07 January 2006 - 21:15
The cutaway drawing perhaps did more than anything to kindle my interest in the technical side of motoring in general and racing in particular – informative and so pleasing to look at. I'm sure other TNF'ers may recognize that sentiment.
For decades it seemed to me that the cutaway drawing was such an integral aspect of news, information and data concerning all things motoring in general, and racing cars in particular. There was a time when one could count on a number of cutaway drawings in numerous motor sports related publications to keep one occupied over the off-season – they don't seem anywhere near as frequent anymore, though Giorgio Piola is still very active. I wonder why that is: Is it due to the current and increasing secrecy/paranoia resulting from corporate involvement and megabudgets in all levels of racing, the artists of a lost art dying off and not being replaced, or is it because publishers believe that current corporate customers and us enthusiasts will accept nothing less than a fully rendered 3D computer graphic model? Thoughts, gentlemen?
My personal favourite is Tony Matthews, who appears still to be active, providing one finds the right publications. In particular, I find that his colour renderings are without peer – simply superb. Never the most detailed, but incredibly crisp and tangible with almost mathematical precision.
For monochrome linework, the late, great Jim Allington was the Master – the amount of detail he could include was staggering, and he was an expert in combining cutaway and ghosting techniques. He seems to have inspired the equally impressive David Kimble, who does seem to go somewhat overboard on detail occasionally, IMO.
I've already mentioned Piola – I wonder if Italians Rosso and the Bettis are still alive and active – all very good at colour work, as were the French Bellus – are they still around?
Others that I can think of OTTOMH are Brian Hatton, Theo Page, Bill Bennett – there were more good ones in Autocar, Motor, MotorSport and Autosport that I can't recall off-hand. Lots of lovely line-and-wash work.
Then there is, and were, the more artistic technical renderings – not so much cutaways – of Werner Bührer and Bob Freeman.
I'm sure others can add to the list – perhaps with information on what publications the various artists were and are active in then and now!

I'm actually surprised that David Kimble was active as early as 1965 - he must be a lot older than I thought, then.
The earliest Tony Matthews work I've seen is from 1971, which would, I suspect, indicate that Matthews is in his sixties and that we'll fortunately still be able to see a lot more from his gifted hands.
I wonder if the German illustrator you're referring to could be either of the very prolific "S.W" or Schlenzig? Their line illustrations seem to be virtually everywhere in German automotive litterature in the 1950s and 60s.
I've done a few exploded view drawings manually in my career - they are very time-consuming to do do, but doesn't a hand made drawing look just great compared to the CAD ditto? The manually executed drawing allows more scope for varying line weights and trim, making the rendering more 'tangible'. Having said that, the quality of modern computer renderings and the capability of the software is truly impressive, and for better or for worse it does enable people who can't really draw or paint make some impressive illustrations. Technically, the only drawback of the 3D CAD solid rendering is that you need a comprehensive and coherent 3D model of what you're illustrating, which means that subjects made prior to the advent of 3D CAD need to be fully modelled before they're illustrated that way. When done manually, you only need to draw the wanted view, which for a very complex subject may be a lot quicker after all - but then again you only get that one view. You may have seen the cutaway I've done of a DeTomaso Pantera Gr.4 in another thread - although far from flawless, it took about 150 hours, whereas a full 3D CAD model complete with plumbing etc. would have taken considerably longer - just digitizing and measuring would have taken ages. So for some purposes, the manually prepared illustration is still difficult to replace - but not on a new product where everything is 3D CAD-modelled anyway.
BTW, I'm very impressed by those 3D car renderings used in some computer games - they are sort of a combination of the manual and the CAD method and seem to make the best of both worlds.

After college in the late 70s/early 80s, I worked in the German car industry. All over Germany, in contract drawing offices were British Technical Illustrators - the best in the world - earning three times the market rate in the UK with unlimited hours. We would regularly get off the plane, straight to work and do a 2 week 14 hour day, 2 weeks on, 10 days off. It was amazing how many Brits there were, in design, styling and other departments. Fitting in race meetings in the time off with family life was the hardest challenge!
When I came back to work in the UK in around 88, I worked for one of my former colleagues who had set up his own office. One of the clients was Lola, being nearby. We did many exploded drawings, mainly of the suspension components, all by hand in those days. For example the T88 F1 car, F3000 etc. Another nice project to work on was the maintenance and parts manuals for the Hewland LD200 gearbox. This was designed with the then new Formula Forward in mind, which didn't really take off, however the box was used in many other FF cars etc. I did a full cut-away drawing of it, using an actual casing plus design blueprints for reference. I also produced exploded drawings of the internals with annotations, part numbers etc etc. With most racing cars types being a short manufacturing run, often each model modified there is no point in the expense of an illustration for the assembly proceedure. Tony Matthews once told me it was getting harder and harder to gain access to the actual cars or the drawings for reference due to the secrecy in contemporary racing car manufacture.
I did go back to Germany for a while, and trained on computer graphics. Somehow it does not hold the same appeal to me, I prefer the pencil, pen or brush but it is still amazing what the modern computer programmes and operators can achieve. Unfortunately the days of producing tech illustrations by hand are long dead, as are the opportunities for technical illustrators. A designer can now 'turn', his blueprint at an angle on the PC screen, render it in colour and even animate it, cutting out the need for an illustrator to provide a 3D image of his design.
I'll dig out the Hewland cutaway and one of the Lola ones if interested and post them here.

Thanks for sharing your insight.
There's an interesting parallel to the aerospace industry (my main field) in that it, too, was, and is, staffed to a very large extent by British design and engineering contractors doing silly-hour shifts away from home, anywhere in the World where there's an aerospace company. I've worked with quite a few of them - and with such a large contingent there are both the brilliant and the less so. I don't know how the British travelling contractor tradition came about - the British ones seem more mobile than most - I suppose it may have been instigated by the decimation of the British aircraft industry in the 1970s with the attendant aly-offs.
Why is it that Britain produced more and better technical illustrators than other countries? Again, I suspect the requirements of the British aircraft companies may have been a factor, but other countries would basically have had the same requirements. Thoughts?
I suspect that your LD 200 illustrations are the ones that can be found on the Hewland Engineering website - they're absolutely excellent. I also wonder if some of the exploded views of Lola suspensions in the Starkey book are yours - or was that before your time?
Technical illustration - an art like so many others dying the computer death. Still, there's now the computer rendering specialists instead, but IMO the real artists now in that domain are the anonymous 'nerds' who write the remarkable modelling and illustration software. But being The Olde Farte I am, I still prefer the feel of the hand-made technical illustration, yet I must concede the 'war' is lost for good.
Please do post some of your technical illustrations, Andrew!

Although he didn't do cutawys, I always looked forward to the drawings of Werner Burher, which appeared periodically in Road and Track, especially those which illustrated features of the latest Formula One cars. Piola's drawings remind me of Burher's in many ways, although they are much more refined and detailed, and his annual books on Formula One are extremely impressive.
There is a book out recently which might interst some of you. Its called "Graphic War, The Secret Aviation Drawings and Illustrations of World War II" by Donald Nijboer, and it contains many examples of cutaway and other artwork from training manuals, posters, etc. produced by the major powers in WWII. About half the examples shown are (surprise) British, with the rest about evenly divided among American, German and Soviet. For whatever reason ther are no Italian or Japanese examples included. A similar book on the history of race car cutaways would be very welcome.

A couple of years ago I got a bunch of Ferrari cutaway drawings from a friend. Thing is they´re not signed so I have no idea who the artist is. Here´s an example.
I also have a book called "Formula 1" from 1976...illustrated by Herbert Müdsam...who I believe works/worked for Volvo. In that book he has drawn among others a cutaway of the "tea-tray" MARCH 711.

I was leafing through the August '68 issue of Road & Track this past week and came across a Shell ad featuring the Chaparral 2F that Steve Sobieralski mentioned. The set of three Allington prints was available from Shell for the princely sum of one U.S. dollar.
On my office walls today are Ford Mk IV and McLaren M8A cutaway prints rendered by Mati Palk, as well as five Werner Bührer prints. All were available from R&T back in the late '60s/early '70s, though I bought these NOS examples off eBay a few years ago.
On my shelf is a book called "Inside 100 Great Cars." It's a collection of double-page (and some three-panel foldout) cutaways and ghosted illos, of road and racing cars dating from the De Dion Bouton up through the mid-1980s Corvette and T-Bird. The subjects seem to have been selected at random, but the volume includes a range of artists including Allington, Tony Matthews, Martin Donovan, John Lawson, Roy Haynes and many others.
Staffan: Judging from the style and subject matter, I'd guess your 512S was done by Tony Matthews.

This first example is very basic, one of the projects we were given to do as students. I studied at the Isle of Ely college in Wisbech Cambridgeshire from 1977-80, which at the time was regarded as one of the best Technical Graphics courses in the country. Our tutors had a background in aircraft illustration, having worked at Rolls-Royce, De Havilland, Vickers etc. In the classroom was this old BMC engine which we had to strip down, then measure, sketch each component and produce the pencil exploded drawing, to a size of approximately 30ins high. Usually a technical illustration would be drawn onto a perspective grid. The final ink drawing was done on draughting film, tracing the pencil lines but with Rotring ink pens, differing nib thicknesses for the line weights. The numbered annotations were done with 'letraset' which were sheets of letters and numbers like a transfer, they could be put in position and rubbed down, a bit like transfer logos for a model kit. The internal components were done as a seperate second illustration, but sadly I have no idea where my copy of this went.
The Hewland LD200 cutaway illustration was done in 1988. I went to Hewland, collected the casing and blueprints from the Hewland engineer looking after this project. He was Mark Bailey, who now runs his own racing team MBR in the ARP F3 series and has also built his own sportscars in the past. The pencil drawing was created the same way, although the information was more exact with detailed blueprints to work and measure from. The greatest skill the technical illustrator has to master is to visualise a 2D technical drawing / blueprint as a 3D image, especially in an assembly and ensure that each component is drawn in the correct position, to scale and in the correct assembly sequence (if producing an exploded drawing). Again the pencil drawing was traced over, using Rotring pens. A photographic copy was then made (a bromide) which gave dense black lines on perfect white photo paper. After annotations were added to the bromide, the line illustration was then ready for printing.
A second bromide was to be coloured, for use in a Hewland presentation. The colour was added using pantone colour film. Sheets of pantone came in many hundreds of different colours. The coloured sheet would be laid over the ink bromide and was slightly transparent, so that the ink lines were visible. With a sharp scalpel, the area to be coloured could be carefully cut out following the lines, the colour peeled off the pantone sheet and stuck down on the illustration. Now with computer graphics letraset and pantone film are obsolete!
I did train to use computers to illustrate and mastered the art, although as I said, being old school I have always preferred the 'by hand' way. This illustration of a KKK truck turbocharger was done in 1995. However it is a mix of new and old. I produced a pencil drawing, in the traditional old style as mentioned, using blueprints ( print outs of CAD drawings). The pencil drawing was then scanned and this scan was used as the basis and as a background on the Apple MacIntosh screen for me to render it. You might be thinking I used the programme Adobe Photoshop to colour it, I certainly would now if doing the same again. However ten years ago the other Adobe programme 'Illustrator' was a far better option.
Another example of the 'by hand' way is this study of this Vincent I did in 1983. I think it is a 'black shadow', someone will no doubt correct me, have forgotten! It was done completely from photographs and measurements, for a series of prints published by Ensign Publications. Again a pencil drawing was produced, the inked on draughting film. The stippled effect on the seat was just that, hundreds of tiny dots using a 0.2mm thin pen to create the effect.
I'll have another look for the Lola drawings. Hope you like them!

Gedo, from Gédovius, his real name, died at a great age some years ago. Before WW2 he worked mainly for l'Actualité Automobile and Speed. After the war we could find his drawings in l'Action Automobile et Touristique, Moteurs, L'Automobile and L'Equipe. My preferred cutaways from him: Delahaye 145-V12, Bugatti 59/50B 1938, Alfa B, Maserati 8CM, Mercedes W154 1938, Auto-Union D-typ.
If somebody is interested by some scans let me known your e-mail addresses.

I used to copy the drawings myself in days when I had more time on my hands, I remember free hand copying a Lotus 72 and a Tyrell (P34 or oo1 I don't remember. I guess they would have been motoring news or Motorsport) It taught me a lot about how things worked and why.
I also did some very similar (but not as good) ink drawings of motorcycles that look just like the Vincent above. My old man had a Vincent just the same as that, apparently the crancase finish is the give away as to whether its a black shadow .....black crank case means black shadow if I remember correctly.
My favourite peices of cut away art are of the BRM V16, where clear layers of plastic have cutaways on both sides. When all the layers are there the engine is complete, when you get to the last layer it is is laid bare in the minutest detail. A truly fabulous example of the art.
My guess is that today magazines just won't pay the rate for decent pieces of art work when a staff photographer can fill the same space.
Posted 09 January 2006 - 12:07
I have often seen drawings like that in old magazines and technical manuals and taken them for granted. I now realise that a drawing like that must take many hours to produce!
Posted 09 January 2006 - 13:02
Quite impressive that the steel goes in one end and 24 hours later the completed car is ready for despatch.
I never ceased to be amazed how many robots and how much infrastructure is needed just to make something such as a door or chassis component. The illustrations I did were mainly for planning meetings. If a robot needed recalibrating, or put into another position or another section in the production process adding, it was far easier for the engineers in the meeting to look at a large perspective drawing overview of the line on the wall to discuss, rather than hundreds of blueprints or standing on the factory floor. A drawing as described like this could take 300-400 hours without the gathering of info at the plant.

Consequently, the latter took up house property restoration instead and the last time we spoke he told me that his hands are now so "knackered" from mixing cement and wielding picks, bricks, saws, drills and hammers all day that he frankly doubts he still has the physical capability to produce the fine artistry of his - to me - brilliant past.
For anyone really interested in the skill of the cutaway artist per se, as opposed to those more confined to racing car subjects, there is a SUPERB book of aeronautical cutaways from the pages of 'Flight' and 'The Aeroplane' celebrating the artistry of Max Millar, Vic Berris, Michael Badrocke and many more, while Cyril Posthumus also did a coople of books I believe - one on GP cars, one on sports-racers, majoring on cutaways from 'Autocar', 'Motor' and other previously published sources.
Very sadly, this seems to be a dead art these days - simply priced out of existence; but to me it reached its absolute pinnacle in the work of Allington, Matthews and Inomoto.

I've seen this book, and it is indeed stunning. In fact, airplane cutaways are one of the reasons I got interested in technical things and trying to actually understand how things went together. It carried over into my interest in cars as well (I have a series of three big books about WW2 aircraft, divided into American, British, and German aircraft-they're collections of some sort. But they have lots of beautiful color painted illustrations, and some wonderful cutaways of the more significant aircraft, by someone named Weal. They're three of my favorite research books). Anthony Pritchard's recent book Sports Racing Cars features lots of cutaways, all of which are wonderful, and certainly added to my understanding.
Andrew, I'd like to add my compliments-your illustrations are great! I particularly like the Vincent 'bike drawing-that'd make a wonderful print!
Posted 10 January 2006 - 02:04
It saddens me deeply that a master such as Matthews cannot find cutaway-work within motor racing anymore - something is definitely wrong with the way of the World if that is the case. Although I'm sure Matthews excels at whatever he does, I find his current predicament such a waste of talent.
Doug, how old is Tony Matthews, BTW? And is there any chance of disclosing his whereabouts? - I'd love to send him a letter - well - fan mail of a sorts.
It's a real shame if the art of the racing car cutaway is reduced to the occasional hiccup by fumbling amtateurs such as myself - but at least I did manage to get a commission for this cutaway drawing of the DeTomaso - albeit at an embarrasingly low price (or perhaps as befits the quality or otherwise of the drawing). http://forums.autosp...y=&pagenumber=2 post no. 129, if anyone can be bothered.
Posted 10 January 2006 - 02:08
Your illustrations are absolutely stunning - thanks for sharing! You must've had the talent before you began your formal training and career. And, IMO, your drawings are much more pleasing to the eye than any near-real-life 3D CAD rendering, however impressive they are. (I must be a dinosaur).
(And I find my own doodles deeply embarassing in comparison... )
Posted 10 January 2006 - 07:42
The De Tomaso is now downloaded and ready for printing and framing
Me oh my what talents we have among us !!!!
Posted 10 January 2006 - 07:45
A brilliant illustrator. Much of his colour work people took for granted as being airbrush. It was infact a perfect graduated fine wash using brushes. His handling of the impression of the carbon fibre 'weave' was absolutely brilliant. Such a shame he could not make a living.
As Doug said the paranoia in the motor industry with a camera around is a major hurdle. I guess the only opportunities are illustrations of older cars with known technology and components.
But who will pay as an illustration such as one of Tony's, take it from me, involves many weeks hard work! It is always the fine detail that is time consuming.

Hadn't realised you live there Milan
Thanks for the copy of the McRae F5000....it's great
I'll downsize it and clean it and see if I can get a good print for you to frame
once again ...Thanks !!

Indeed Doug.
I just would add two Italian talents to your top list: genial B. Nestola -mentor of Piola- and "maestro" Bruno Betti.
BTW: Who have surpassed the elegance of Max Millar, S. Werner or C.O. La Tourette?

Posted 18 December 2007 - 08:57
this is my first post on the forum I am the same Eric that took those old shots of the Connew back at Bra... no, I can't say the name of the circuit that was the nemesis of the car [hello Barry!].
I have been searching for somewhere to buy a print of Theo Page's cutaway Ford-Cosworth DFV as seen here:-
As this is, to me at least, a classic I would have thought it was available to buy.
Can anybody please tell me if Autosport have an outlet for prints from their artists or if this is available from anywhere? Theo must have built up a body of work as he would be the one name that I could remember for this type of drawing.
Thank you for looking, as they say on Ebay.

I haven't got any copies of my racing stuff anymore but have a few of engines.
Posted 18 December 2007 - 10:02
I also like your extremely crisp linework exploded views, with the subtly differentiated line weights. Very pleasing on the eye.
Are you sure you don't have any racing stuff you can show us?
For those interested, there are higher resolution samples on Alan's website

I always use a colour that stands out and is possibly the opposite to the actual material. If you cut a piece of steel the section would be a silvery colour, much like everything around it. Using red makes the cutaway obvious and shows the shape. If the product was red, I would use a different colour.
Posted 18 December 2007 - 11:26
I understand the reason and this is no big deal, just a question out of curiosity. My particular line of work has it's own colour coding when reviewing drawings mark-ups and highlighting are red - to be incoporated; blue - to be deleted; yellow - OK, etc.

Unfortunately a lot of stuff was lost when I moved home (my mother accidently threw them away).
I do have a tank though!

Are you still on talking terms with your Mother, though?
Just out of curiousity, what racing car-related cutaways had you done?

A&E's original series Shipping Wars, which follows independent truckers who make their living hauling unusual items traditional carriers won't touch, is back for a brand-new season.
Shipping Wars follows the high-stakes world of heavy-duty moving as independent truckers bid against one another for the opportunity to ship the unshippable. Each day, thousands of shipments, from oversized loads and bulky packages to the truly bizarre, are put up for auction. The trucker with the lowest bid wins the job. The trouble then is figuring out how to actually move it.
In Season 6, seasoned shippers Marc Springer, Jennifer Brennan, and Jarret Joyce returned to tackle new loads and the challenges that come with them. Joining these Shipping Wars veterans are new cast members Dusty Davie, Jessica Samko, and Todd and Tamera Sturgis. Shipping since age 16, Davie comes from a big trucking family and now owns one of the largest heavy hauling trucking companies in the Midwest. After breaking up with her boyfriend, Samko founded her own trucking business and is willing to haul anything she can get her hands on. Shipping power couple Todd and Tamera Sturgis have been driving trucks together for 20 years and cross the country every other week, hauling whatever their dispatcher throws at them.
Some of what's to come this season: Jarrett struggles with his toughest shipment yet when he signs on to transport a giant 40-foot plaster colon, Jenn ships a collection of haunted dolls, newcomer Dusty lands a cross-country load involving a Soviet era MIG jet, and Marc Springer battles tornado-spawning weather as he hauls a heavy load.
