Another bout of late-working has meant little progress on anything Brigade-related. I have however been slowly ploughing on with some painted examples of our British spaceships. I’ve gone for a mid-blue (Tamiya XF-18) scheme airbrushed on, with the ‘rib’ sections and engines picked out in black (XF-85).<\/p>\n
