every now and then we need to remind ourselves that painting via computer aint the same as painting in real life :lol: . My son recently got me back into the hobby of wargaming and decided he wanted to build a Flames of War Soviet Army, after 15 years of not having anything to do with wargaming my wallet, hands and eyeballs were in for a hell of a shock but the results arent too dissapointing...

Nice detail I recently bought a Jaguar GR3 model 1:72 scale but I only got it to help me with the detail of a new skin I'm doing for a new Open Falcon 3d model. I may just build it though when I reach the stage where the skin is finished.

was the subway nice?? mmmm roast lamb sub....

seriously tho... I have not done any modelling for around 15 years... but I can still smell the glue and paint.... (Miss Hoover... I ate all my glue)....

And the rainy afternoons at my friends house designing a battleground and getting annoyed when a lone infantry unit took out a tank with a 1:1000000 miracle roll of the dice... grrrrrr
