Finished my first batch



Apparently we are painting faster than the Perry's can ship them to us :o I was due to pick my next batch up on Wednesday but they are not yet in NZ  :(

The worry is we only have just over 42 days left to get them all painted  :!! :!!

Looks like it might be back to 10mm Turks for a few days  :)

Can't wait to see this project completed ! It's going to be stunning !
Even if visitors aren't allowed to take photo's (and I don't expect that will happen) I'm sure there'll be some 'official' shots for us all to enjoy !!
Cheers - Phil.

Agree with you completely Phil.

It's the kind of project we all wish we could do!  ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

It should prove very inspiring for WWI Middle East fans.

Stunning painting, Paul. Mind you, from that angle they look as if they're dancing Swan Lake!  :D

..... on stilts!

They are the 'pegs' that will hold the figures in the diorama.  We are under strict instructions not to remove them

Very please to be a small part of this project :)

I'm told that some people on TMP are muttering about volunteers doing the painting for free. Totally missing the point as usual =)

I had that when I volunteered to help kids learn to read. Asked why I wasn't getting supply pay for volunteering - duhh!

Awesome when we get people in to hear kids read; really valuable learning for those who may not get the chance at home  :)

I remember when my daughter first started school, the parents in her class were invited to come in and read their child's favorite story to the class over a couple of weeks...

Only four parents turned up out of a class of about 20  :(

I was the only father who bothered was able to turn up  :( :( >:(
