100ft :o

Which do you use Gordon?  I need some more and sounds like you're the expert ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

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

Me, too, Gordon. Show us the way.

(did you see what I did, there ... eh?)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I've got all sorts, rigid resin, sorta flexible (looks like soft lino with textured rubber stuck to the top) and my favourite painted felt flexible enough to go over hill and down dale. Just dont get me started on the bloody rivers.  :-B

Yeah theyre easy, just cut them up and slap a few coats of emulsion on them. Not quite as good as commercial stuff but they do the job.

Any chance of a photo?

Also, where do you buy the felt?

Cheers :)

Am I allowed to say that I can't stop buying CDs ?
Got to have something to listen to, while I push the putty around.

Try Spotify, I have about 400 hundred cd's but now just set up the puter and off it goes. The free version gives you full access with the odd add or two whereas the pay for version is the same without the adds and you can use it offline.

Currently going through the back catalogue of Steeleye Span (22 lp's), then I will probably go on to all of Staus Quo. If you are painting it's brilliant because you can just keep going and not have to get up and change the cd every time.

Did you pick up any of Maddie Prior's solo stuff?

I used to have a few on tape -names escape me- but I do remember having a Silly Sisters tape.

My interest in folk music came from being in the Sealed Knot. I was cajoled into going to a local concert of the Albion Dance Band at Datchett, while we at the camp outside Windsor Castle at the time of Ma Windsor's Silver Jubilee thingy in 1977. They were brilliant as were Fiddler's Dram when I saw them at Lympne Castle . Absolutely detested 'Didn't we have a lovely time' when they brought it out. Like Fairport Convention as well.

Similar to me. Although it was the ECWS that introduced me folk music, Strawhead being a regular band I remember seeing at events.

I've just taken a look at the number of paints I have - ooer!

Heard of Strawhead, never got round to seeing them.Might look them up.
Who were you with? I was in at the start of Lord Saye and Sells.

And real ale!!! Yay, what a revelation that was.

Another thing I can't stop buying -in the pub of course.
(Nicely back on topic, even if I say so myself). :D :D
