A recent side project, the Skeleton Army from "Jason and the Argonauts" as realised by the great Ray Harryhausen. 1/6 scale kit from Star Ace, and as a big fan myself, it has been great fun to put together and paint. #StarAceSkeletonArmy More photos here: bowemodels.co.uk/gallery/spac...

Next up! Back to good solid familiar subject matter now. Yes, I've built a few of these 1/32 B-17s before but you can't have too much of a good thing! State of the art mouldings and all the extras to hopefully produce a seriously impressive model, can't wait to get stuck in. #HKB17F
