To be honest, it's my first time using the static grass, it got everywhere :lol:
It certainly does! :-D

Did you use an applicator? If you didn't, have a look on ebay for them, there are quite often 'home-made' ones (that look like a tea-strainer on a tennis racket handle) that work pretty well, and don't cost the enormous sums that the branded versions attract! Example:

Very well done. Nice subtle paint variations, and it's like they say. "You can never have too many …." :grin:

Once you build a model, you want all the ones that go with it!

Thought I'd stick my beak in to say that's a stunning build and those are a nice pair of kits. Quite rare too. I built the owl many years ago, I think I still have the dead mouse from it some place. That was very useful when I wanted to play a trick on the woman my dad married after Mum passed away - god she did scream :twisted: :lol:

All the best.

Excellent work CT, you have managed to get some real character into those birds. I see the stash is increasing - there's simply no excuse not to buy more kits! Welcome to the stash society, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave (apologies to The Eagles) :ha:

Thank you ever so much guys :-D
Pretty proud as it was my first go with the acrylics ;-)

Something you guys might find amusing...
I've seen "CT" on a lot of my posts....There is me scrolling through the glossary...
and then :idea: They have abbreviated Cherry Tree :lol: :lol:
...There was me thinking it was some technical modeling term :oops:
