Long time gone....

Well it's been a very rough 6 months or so here (very ill relatives, and two deaths in the family to boot) as such time has been a distinct premium. When that happens the first thing to go is any hobby time and that's what's happened here.
However I'm starting to make my way back into the realms of hobby time and have managed to actually get brush to metal and have painted this as my first offering of the year.
