DESCRIPTION

'The Heavy Metal Hero' one of Matthews’ most popular and enduring images.  Inspired by his father's working model of The Flying Scotsman, the now iconic train was originally designed for a poster.  It was later licensed by Silmarils as the cover art for their video game Transarctica, then by Diamond Head for their 'Am I Evil?' album cover, and then by Ride, as one of ten Matthews designs to appear on their snowboards.  Most recently, the image inspired a track for Matthews' album Trinity.  Available in two sizes -

A little disappointed

Not as bright as my other copy, the print isn't as precise either.

So sorry to hear you are disappointed, I will contact you by email as we would like to get this sorted for you, Sarah

Stunning, it will dominate a wall. And the phrase stare at the wall will have a new meaning for me.
This was the reason most folk I know bought Transartica, back when box art and manuals you read were a thing!
