On my way to work this morning I stopped off to snap the reflections across the head of the voe…
Days like these are rare (thankfully) so it keeps the midges at bay. Last night was a bloody nightmare. They were everywhere and unfortunately one of the kids left the door to the porch open. The ceiling was black, the white walls were black. I gave them a spray with window cleaner (that’s all I had that was handy) and the floor became black. It doesn’t help that I am allergic to the nasty little sods. In all honesty it is one of the reasons that we chose Shetland over the highlands.
I got home to a nice parcel all the way from Japan…
I ordered these (note singular object in the photo…the other is on its way) back in the dark ages before total lockdown. It is a really nice looking model. The second one is 1:700 scale.
To be honest I didn’t actually realise how big it was going to be.
I am probably out gaming tomorrow if my mate is up to it. If not I am really going to try and get some things painted. I have the wooden fences to paint as well as, finishing the houses and stone walls … not to mention the printed castle. Regarding that, I am seriously considering giving it away. As I now have a similar sized one.
Tonight there was no drawing, printing or painting. So I really need to get back into things…

Oof, being allergic to midge bites sounds grim
They’re pretty fierce down here at the moment, they’ve been savaging me the last few days. Mind you I think I’ve been bitten so many times now I’m pretty much immune. Was moth trapping a couple of years ago, opened up the trap in the morning and the entire bottom was almost 10cm deep in the little bastards. I didn’t hang around to empty it properly I can tell you, just tipped it into the shrubbery and ran!
Liking the look of that castle, looking forward to seeing it with a coat of paint on 🙂

That kit looks great.
I hate midges too. I was wild camping in Glen Nevis once many years ago. Dad and I were the only food for them for miles around. Wasn’t a pleasant night…
Cheers,
Pete.
