News Flash


My blog will probably be quiet for a while (although I will update with some thing) as I have just secured a 3 month contract dealing with flood claims in Thailand based in Bangkok. This came out of the blue when another UK based 6 month contract ended and an old employer asked me to fly out to Thailand at the end of this week.

The money is insanely good and its a bit of an adventure as I haven't been to Thailand before. I won't however be doing much (if any) model painting over the next 3 months as I will be working 6 day weeks while I am away and wont really have time for much painting.

But when I get back my financial position will be waaaaay better so I will probably be topping up the lead pile over the next few months so I can get on with some serious painting on return.

In the interim I'll post snaps and anything interesting from my work abroad here.
