Dontcha get stale building the same type of model sometimes?
When Lockdown started I fancied a change and built a ship and the old Aurora Knights and then spotted some of the old Airfix Bird models on that auction site - at ridiculously low prices. So one purchase became two, then three, etc. Finally I just had to get that elusive last one (The Owl).
A visit to The Works provided me with an inexpensive box of acrylic paints in all the bright colours I needed and a rattle-can of Halfords primer white gave me the base.
I'm a bit of an amateur ornithologist but my DSLR lenses are all telephotos (hence poor phone camera picture) and I was quite pleased with the results. (Of course, typical modeller I bought a few extra Bullfinches to convert into Chaffinch, Greenfinch etc - but they've not had colour applied as yet - coz - you guessed it - I'm back refreshed onto WNW and CSM subjects!!)
