Its been a very slow start to the year model wise - so hope to kick start it with this new model.
Picked it up at Telford (my last one, the show not the model hohoho) its a 1/9 bust from S K Miniatures. 
So first thing is to say sorry to Howard - who will look at it and say what a bodge up you have made of the paint job, but as long as I enjoy doing it and get some fun from it - thats OK with me. When I have done the jobs in the garden and sorted out the sink in the bathroom, will get on with a base and priming the model.

Yes the Kraken Wakes - seems to have got the modelling mojo working again - or it could just turn me into re-reading the Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham again, now that was a good book or I could just re-read Treasure Island what to do  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P

Read both and watch the films, then modelling will take a back seat!

Put it together well but then bodge up the painting of the face - but ohhhh well it keeps me away from humans. Talking about that see some of you on Sunday  :-\  :-\  :-\

Base under construction - still a lot of cleaning up to do - also angle the front edge to add the name on - at least I have an extra week to work on it hohohoho

Isn't that what you used to get the new lad to do. "Just go next door for a long stand."

I got sent to ask for a 'Left-Handed Screwdriver' and a 'Right Handed Mug' when I first started work.
Guess, I was the 'Mug' then.

Now, I have progressed and I am looking for that elusive can of 'Tartan Paint'.....hohohoho.  :P  :P  :P 
I hope my next is always better
