I've put out a new album "Noctilucent" at The Polymusicon
I've got my craft room area where I build models tidied, and I'm trying to finish off the PG GP01. It's tricky to remember where I was in building the kit, but with luck it'll be done soon and I'll post images.

Yes, Big K has been a long time coming.... I've had real issues with the paint sticking to the resin, making masking a real pain and many pieces had to be redone. So rather than drive myself to frustration, I gave the kit a rest and now I've come back to finish it.
