Hello all, I'm Bob aka Spaceowl, and I was last active on here about five years ago. I'm a buddy of Old Tonto, who I think is also resting at the moment. I've been resting from modelling due to a combination of night shifts (I'm a night IT engineer for bp) and a business sideline painting wargames figures for Ebay. I've completely burnt out on the latter, though, so I've decided to paint plastic just for myself for a while.
Here's a picture of my last two projects, five years apart - a Revell F-89D (NMF, left) and an Academy F-89J (ADC Grey, right). Not a themed build, just two kits I had on the build pile.

Hi Bob. Welcome back to the madhouse. Two great looking Scorpions there. Hope mine looks anywhere near that good when I finally get to building them.
All the best
