One more from that smashing morning!
Reynisfjara, #Iceland, Feb 2020
Massive waves breaking on a stormy day. There is some sun on the froth of the waves being taken upwards in heavy winds. Above are some dark clouds above a patch of brightness.
Some days will stay with you forever.
This was taken on an incredible stormy morning at Reynisfjara in south #Iceland in Feb 2020. Never seen anything like it.

#DHC2Beaver
Making progress on the Dora DHC 2 Beaver.
I decided to go off program & do a unique USAF service utility aircraft.
The kit is very good but SUPER fiddly.
The wings, surprisingly gave me fits with alignment, but with patience it worked.
I'm on too Decals!
One of the Lewis Chessmen
Currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Found in 1831 on a beach at Uig on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the Chessmen dates to the late 12th or early 13th century.

FINISHED! Suboden Khan off the White Scars. This is a fantastic model, one of the best releases last year (after Logan Grimnar). I picked him up to paint as a one off for my display case. Really lovely to paint.. although I realise I detest painting white. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity
