Painted these Space Marines while I was. deployed in the Middle East. Not easy as the heat or the air-con would dry the paint on the brush.

Nice collection. You mentioned service in the Navy and I detect a certain bias toward naval aviation. 🙂 Nice tip of the hat to the Canadian Armed Forces with the Hawk you have finished.

Thanks Alan. Yes, I have quite the collection of Fleet Air Arm models waiting for my attention. I'm 23 years in the Royal Navy and still going. As for the Canadian connection, the wife is from Toronto.

OK. I live in Courtice, just east of Toronto, next to Oshawa. I worked for a time in Scarborough as well. I grew up in Windsor, Ontario and after a few other places have settled here with my family.
I am collecting some kits to mark as Canadian vehicles, especially for the Ontario Regiment, which is based in Oshawa. I volunteer at the Regiment museum and wanted to finish some kits for their time in Italy in WWII.
