Father and husband. 🇬🇧🇨🇦 Probably called grumpy by most, but deep down quite light hearted. Many trips around the sun, most of it on the bike.
Curious about where and when you'd use a paint pen.
My prized possession is a bow pen (draughtsman pen) for doing straight lines of any width. And any medium can be used with the pen (well, for the most part). But that is just drawing a line on the model or maybe a transfer sheet.

I’ve never given much thought to doing a diorama, cursing now as I may want to do this RCAF Voodoo at the New Brunswick Railway Museum.

I found this Aeroclub 144th scale mozzie kit earlier this year. A simple kit; enjoyed building it. I’d go with that scale again for a
fun project (and limited space for display).

Here's a lovely bit of detail that could not be produced with casting, and at the scale involved I'd be hard pressed to scratch build something with this level of fineness.
