More Than a Piece of Artwork
At Aces In Action, history isn't simply depicted—it becomes part of the artwork itself. Craig Tinder pairs his historically researched artwork with genuine material from the aircraft, ships, vehicles, and artifacts represented in the story.
These relics create a tangible connection between the artwork and the history behind it.
Where the Relics Come From
Relics are sourced through museums, restoration projects, veteran organizations, military archaeologists, collectors, and other trusted historical sources. Each piece has its own story and provenance, which we document whenever available.
Materials may come from aircraft skin, structural components, ships, military vehicles, equipment, or other historically significant artifacts.
From Artifact to Artwork
1 — RESEARCH
Craig researches the subject, its history, and the story behind the artifact.
2 — PRESERVATION
A portion of the historical material is carefully preserved for inclusion with the artwork.
3 — PRESENTATION
The relic is paired with Craig's artwork to create a collectible that preserves both the story and a tangible piece of its history.
A Tangible Connection to the Past
Every relic has survived its own journey through history. By preserving these artifacts alongside the artwork and the stories they represent, Aces In Action gives collectors the opportunity to become stewards of that history.
