A typically autumnal view from Malhamdale 🍂🍁🧡

📸 Andy Kay | #YorkshireDales #Malham #Autumn #MondayMotivation
A scenic countryside landscape at sunrise or sunset, viewed from behind a metal gate and stone wall in the foreground. The sky dominates the upper half of the image, filled with dramatic streaks of orange, yellow, and gold near the horizon, fading into deep blue and gray tones higher up. Rolling green hills stretch across the middle ground, dotted with tufts of brown shrubs and divided by stone walls and hedgerows. In the distance, dark silhouettes of hills and ridges create a layered horizon. The lighting casts a warm glow on the landscape, highlighting the textures of the grass and stone. A moss-covered stone post is visible on the right side of the foreground, adding rustic detail to the scene.

Making progress. The plan is to drop UV-curing clear resin into the portholes then sand and polish. I’ll use my vinyl cutter to make circular masks. This kit is ok, but it proves that ‘new tooling’ is not necessarily good tooling - a lot of cleaning up parts.

Honda NSR 500 done. I enjoyed this one right up until decal time, they were a mare to do. First had problems making them stick and then refusing to conform, Set and Sol were used in abundance. Still warts and all, here she is.
