Andy, thanks for the positive feedback re. my clouds and sky.

 

It was fun to do and worked out better than I expected. But nice to have the result judged by somebody with an artist's eye.

Thanks and your welcome, although not sure I would call mine an artist's eye.

Lots of rain this morning.

A colony of great crested newts will be moving in soon, and then you’ll be in trouble should you ever want to change anything!

Any water that gets into the car will run back out of the rust holes in the floor Rich.

Yep Paul, Fair weather man, just like me of a morning, if its dull, cold windy, wet, threatening, snowy, Icey, then I don't go for a morning walk. I am, the Sunshine man.

 

Today I'm off to Eastleigh later for some much needed inspiration and maybe some retail theropy.

 

NOTE = AC Models is currently only open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday whilst undergoing extensions and improvements inside the shop.

A good purchase but nothing of any consequence that can be posted on here,  unless you want a picture of a sausage roll.

I could not believe the amount of rust on the sides of the Class 70's above the wording = Freightliner. The Colas ones were the same and all around the door handles as well.
