I've found/created a suitable sign for the pub that will be part of Hinton Ampner in the Cheriton game

Not the Hinton Arms, the only pictures I can find for it's pub sign are of a Gent in a fairly modern suit :(
Not The Flower Pot in Cheriton, again far too modern :(

I've settled on The Fox from nearby Bramdean and a suitably vintage sign :)

Hi

It's a shame that the Hinton Hunt logos are also anachronistic or you could have recycled those for your inn sign  :D :D.

Hope The Fox is well stocked and open all hours....plenty of potential customers in the area back in 1644  :)
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

I'm sure it will be, shame it is among the Parliamentary forces ;)
St Michael & All Angels in Cheriton will also be 'open', it is closer to the Royalists ;)

That's what the landlord of the pub that sponsored our football team used to say  :)

We often had a choice, shower or last orders at the pub  :d :d :d

 ;D ;D ;D

They did get washed last night which meant they had their final dry brush and figure bases painted this morning :) :)

A very productive day:

  • current batch based :)
  • two batches of hedges have been soaked in dilute PVA :)
  • two more batches of hedge bases cut and glued :)
  • another batch of hedge bases glued and painted :)

Next batch about to go on the painting rods :!!
Hopefully they will get undercoated after work tomorrow, if the weather improves as forecast
