Back from God's Country and I've been busy beating up some plastic!
Some seam work, putty work and masking to follow.

One of the highlights from my trip to Scotland was seeing a Golden Eagle flying at my height whilst hiking on the Isle of Skye - Magic!

We go on...

P.S. Thanks for all the positive comments.

Using Robson Rubber for tires.
Scribed new rear caps on plotter.
Made valve stem and spokes (installed)

Sprayed Nato black. Weathering later on.

The last image shows a small 4ml pipette (used for infusing cupcakes or any other yummy fluffy thing) which I store paint ready for the airbrush.
You can buy hundreds of them for next to nothing. I love using them.

Cheers!
