My 1/72 scale aircraft

Sometimes I can’t stop painting something because the more I look at it, the more I see changes I want to implement. Anyway, after looking at images of the castle I realized it is more of a sand color, and I made that change and added some yellow highlights to that. Then all the roofs had to be painted dark grey and I added a few highlights so they look a little worn. I may add more, not sure. Going to give it a day or two before I decide. ;)

I like it better than before even though I th I ought it was perfect
 
Well I finished the castle and display for my daughter’s birthday. Then I printed a resin figure and painted it for my grandsons birthday, it’s a character he likes from a video game.

Definitely weird, and I don’t play video games, so I had to get a reference pic for the colors.
Been printing parts for my ship and car model as well. So busy lately!
 
Finally…I have started another airplane model! A Camel 1-1/2 Strutter. It was a two seat with a rear gunner.

It’s good to be building another airplane! I am also working on my ship and will be posting an update eventually on that.

See ya next time…
Hi Dean. Good to see you back in business with another model. And nice to see you spend your time also on the models for your daughter and grandson.
Regards, Peter

Thanks Peter
Great paint scheme on the action figure, looks very complex. Looking forward to your magic with the Camel.
Thanks Daniel

Remarkable, you’ve turned into a regular factory
