Almost 3 weeks and no progress on the Light Horse Brigade

I suspect I'm not going to get a lot of sympathy but the weather has been too hot for painting, certainly for dry brushing. High 20s or low 30s

I have been busy doing the AARs for Cowpens and Sheik Sa'ad and more recently sorting out some WWII 6mm a friend wants to sell

Last night I realised how close we are to 15 March so the focus will now shift to preparations for Guilford Courthouse

[paulr]

Still too bloody hot for dry brushing 28 degrees

But good progress on preparing for Guilford Courthouse

Rain forecast for tomorrow night and Thursday, first significant rain in a month, still going to be in the low 20s

[paulr]

The weather cooled a little today and was in the low 20s long enough for me to finish dry brushing the uniforms of the Light Horse Brigade

Manes, tails & hooves next

[Techno]

Well, we've seen the sun for the past couple of days ! 
I actually had to draw the curtains yesterday afternoon, it was so bright.....I was being blinded by the light.
(Mind you......The temperature hasn't half plummeted !)

I'm almost tempted to set my BBC weather app to NZ to see if you're right Paul!

The weather 'relented' yesterday, a maximum of only 20 degrees

So I got the manes, tails & hooves done on the Light Horse Brigade

I'll hopefully get the white markings done tonight and that will be the horses finished

I dream of 20 degrees....and no rain......or gales.....or sleet....or snow

20C here means I have to chop wood for the fire because it's winter 

(Can get down to 0C at night though)

Good progress yesterday on the Light Horse

White markings done on horses as well as saddle blankets and other rolls and bags 

[paulr]

More progress, bandoliers and boots

[paulr]

A vey small amount of progress yesterday

Managed to do the tack on about a quarter of the Light Horse brigade before the temperature got to almost 30 degrees and it was too hot to paint

Hopefully will get more done tonight and/or tomorrow as it should only be in the low 20s
