Washed yesterday evening :)

Final dry brush and figure bases painted this morning :) :)

Yesterday hedges glued to bases and later soaked with diluted PVA, highlighted this morning :) :) :)

Current batch sorted ready for basing as soon as the paint was dry enough :-w :)
This freed up the painting rods for the next batch :)

These have now been undercoated before the forecast showers and strong northerlies :) #:-S

Dearie, dearie me.

With the number of figures that you paint, Paul.......I'd have thought you'd have got a clue how to do it properly, by now !  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

They are superb.....I really am astonished how you keep up such a wonderful standard, and paint and base them so quickly.

Well done, Matey !!
