Quiet week. Trip to Wigan got cancelled, so got on with other things. Probably should get back to writing course materials next week.

Perhaps because they live in Runcorn ;) ;D

Because a school were paying me to teach some teachers how to teach programming. Trip has been postponed, so I will probably be there in the New Year.

You are probably correct though, I wouldn't necessarily go there out of choice.

Ok - so I have to drive through the excavation that is Runcorn on a daily basis......3/4hr to get to the bridge and out yesterday evening.

Started work on the church model.



It appears my usual wash technique will work on the roof, though possibly with a slightly lighter touch that usual, but it's going to make the walls too brown. I'm think a very thinned out VMC Desert Yellow might work better. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it. I've already re-painted the porch once!

Now I'm off to photograph the village of Rode for some architectural inspiration.

Yep, we carry all of the army packs to the shows, so no worries there.

We're working on around a 7-10 day turnaround at the moment, give or take.  A little longer on 20th C. orders.

Latest developments:



Shock / casualty markers for 5mm dice and a small lineside hut that will do as a garden shed / workshop.

Next up: the remainder of The Bishop of Salisbury's Militia Chain of Command platoon.

Thanks.

I have 10 more markers to do, but I'm thinking I'm going to save those to do in a sci-fi theme for the other project.
