A few folks are currently helping Bob Wakelin recover as much of his missing artwork as we can by scanning, stitching retouching and restoring Ocean/Imagine poster art to a printable quality.
the following are a list of currently missing artwork (lost or destroyed) which we are trying to reclaim from A3 and A2 sized posters. do any of you have any of these posters in your collections that you could scan?

Reminds me about an feature of the CPC sceners: It's a funny thing in the CPC scene. First they are into CPC, then they smite it and after decades they come crawling back :laugh: . Of course the case here is very different :)
Is Bob Wakelin the guy that sold a lot of original Ocean artwork a few years ago?

yes probably, but the missing stuff is generally art that was "binned" by ocean when they moved premises in the 90s. Bob rescued a lot of it from a skip outside their old offices, but some of it was gone or damaged beyond repair. the stuff he had was all scanned and archived before the originals were sold.
so far in the last few weeks we have restored Green Beret, Gift from the Gods, Games '92, Lost Patrol
currently undergoing restoration are Renegade and Great Escape.
any help would be appreciated
Oh, Lost Patrol. Really loved that one!
