We are painting the 54mm figures faster than they arriving from the Perrys so I will have a few days to continue this project :)

I managed to do half the packs for this batch before work this morning  ;) I will do the rest tonight, then move onto rifle stocks...

Peter is coming up with a scenario that needs 4 Turkish battalions to mark ANZAC day so I need to get at least one third of this batch finished by 25 April  :!!

And I need to sort out my photos for the paintings competition,  a busy February :!! :!! :!!

Made some more progress on this batch as I wait for my next batch of 54mm figures to show up  :)

Packs, rifles, boots and belts done  :)

Will hopefully sort out the photos of my last couple of entries for the painting competition this afternoon, not that I am holding out much hope given the incredibly high standard this year

Domestic duties, getting ready for a game tonight and getting some more 54mm figures got in the way of the touch ups  :( :) :)

They might be lucky and get some touch ups while the glue and spray coats dry on the 54mm figures tomorrow  :-\

Isn't it still hot enough, over there, so that the spray dries instantly.  ;)

Only 25 tomorrow Phil  ;D

I tend to be paranoid about the undercoat being completely dry so that it the most likely window for the touch ups ;)

You chose to move to the land of soggy sheep!  Or did you have another motive... :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

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

Basically, so Mrs T could keep the gee-gees in the 'garden'.
And I like saying "Get orf moi land, to trespassers"......Except when they happen to be carrying a shotgun.
In those cases, I just resort to sarcasm, and then run away.  :D

Cheers - Phil.

Managed to get the uniform and rifle touch ups done today while waiting for the under coat and base coat to dry on the 54mm  :)

Had to check on here to confirm what was left to do, been a while since I worked on these ;D

Now ready to wash when I get a chance :-w
