Fred's 2016 Painting Diary

[Ithoriel]

Hell, all languages (esp. English) are fully mutable and usage and spelling and punctuation merely guidelines.

None of them really matter, so long as the meaning is understood

Now... pajama, pajam's, pajamas' or pyjama, pyjama's or pyjamas' or just p"$whatever"mas?!

My feeling entirely tp but regularly not FK's so I felt a little gentle feline tail pulling was in order

Also, personally, I feel American English is often nearer to the English our forebears (Goldilocks only had three bears but I have forebears   ) spoke than modern English is.

So I read the deepest vernacular of the most closely guarded communities in my local ish area is most akin to old english. Basically if you speak like you're from deepest Dudley you're pretty much spot on for actual English

I only started wearing them after my wife bought me two avengers themed legs!

[toxicpixie]

Which one? Hulk, Cap, Black Widow?!

Leave you lot alone for the afternoon and we go from sensible discussions about how to carry pikes to the Avengers via rhinos

....

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

You were expecting anything less of us?

[Ithoriel]

I object ... you left out the part where we had a brief foray into English Language and Linguistics :-)

The position of the pikes is, however, attested to in too many contemporary illustrations not to have been used in reality.

There ... back on track .... maybe

[fred.]

You were expecting anything less of us?

My expectations are suitably set.

I object ... you left out the part where we had a brief foray into English Language and Linguistics :-)

Well that's always happening.

[FierceKitty]

Haven't worn 'em for decades. Everything accessible to those allowed to get that close.

[fred.]

Leaving that image a long way away....


Here's a better image, more toy soldiers



More work on Regiment Boisseleau the last couple of evenings, getting there now with facings and cross belts done. Next several browns for hair, apostles, and shoes.

Looking great!
