Mr Scrath's work is flookin brilliant IMHO (apart from some of his dodgy pics that get blind following) ... but then you fella's need to edu'ma'cate us southern ***** in your ways !!!

Too big, over dressed, scruffy, untidy head and it does not look like an insect, its tantamount to spinning.
I wont mention the lack of horse .......

Nice Rob a knickerbocker glory of a flea

Far,far to tasty Rob.

The Clan Chief does serious damage on my club loch for some of the members.
Was always a wee bit shy of the globrite tails, to much, if you get my drift.
Like the more subtle effect you have produced.

I like that, practise makes perfect, class act that one Rob.
