Hay bales and Millennium Falcon

It's been nearly two weeks since I last made any updates to the website and my YouTube channel, partly due to work but also my daughter came home with a cold which was passed on to my wife a few days later and then found it's way to me!!

You can get an idea from the photo above, I'm just finishing up a new video showing a very simple yet effective way of making realistic looking hay bales. I just finished filming the build process and now it's just a matter of doing the editing.

And while I was feeling unwell I decided to build a model kit I recently purchased. I'm a total novice when it comes to airbrushing and I plan to do some weathering on my $300 locomotives so I took a chance with this Millennium Falcon. It's the new Bandai 144th scale kit from "The Force Awakens", it's actually quite amazing at how much detail this thing has at such a small scale. 

It shouldn't be too much longer before the "Hay Bale" video is finalized and posted, it will be quite a short video, it's probably the easiest tutorial I've done so far and for the end result its quite amazing that such a simple method gives such an amazing final product!
