Pretty happy with tonight’s archery practice. Getting ready for the Somerset County Championship on Sunday. #archerylife

Two pairs of arrows into a 60cm target, shot a distance of 20 yards.

Archery practice tonight, Portsmouth round wasn’t that good, but I shot a round on a 40cm target, 2 points under my PB, happy with this final end though. More practice and I will get an all gold end.

I have found it slow to begin with but steadily I’ve built up a few good connections. Mine tend to be scale modelling and archery. Not much motorsports but I haven’t looked that hard though.

They look superb Neil. I really do like the circuit racer design.

Hi thank you, it was Mig Ammo moss, gently brushed on, which I then set in place with pigment fixer.

Played around with some moss pigments from Mig ammo, quite pleased singer with the effect. A bit of gloss varnish and some water effects to go on then some oils and maybe the snow #scalemodels #histscalemodelsb

Thank you hopefully more updates later on today

Good session with the airbrush this morning. Getting the base and highlights down on the diorama. Now for the vegetation, details then some snow.

A diorama base, with texture and painted with an airbrush in various earth tones. Ready for the next stage, grass effects then snow.

Thank you. I keep thinking, oh the next diorama will have fewer figures. Marder x10, Comet x 10, Matilda x9 + a camel, Panzer 3 x14. At least the SAS Jeep was only two figures 🤣🤣

James @foodiefox.bsky.social · 6d

Nice selection. I’m still working on, although not done a lot since last week, working on the winter Stug 3. The base has had some vms smart mud and a spray of black primer since the photo was taken. Hopefully some earth tones over the weekend.

Better slow and steady with each one being a learning experience for the next one. Than rushing and not learning or improving.

Last nights archery was a tale of two arrows, part way through a reasonable Portsmouth round a clipped one arrow against another, it made an ‘odd’ noise and this was the reason why

Two carbon arrows, one without a blue knock, shot off by the other arrow

Good luck. Think positively about the script. It will be a winner.

James @foodiefox.bsky.social · 18d

Good news. Sending positive thoughts for a good recovery

After yesterday’s frostbite, which want my best, others within the group had some low scores as well, I had a good result in the indoor Portsmouth round, not stellar scores but my shooting felt fluid and the work on alignment is paying off.
