I am rather pleased with the kilts

Today is a slightly sad day. I have used an old fold down writing desk as my painting table for the last decade or more. It was bequeathed to my son by his maternal grandfather and we shared it when he lived at home. Since he moved to Christchurch I have been 'looking after it' for him until he found a way to get it down there. Today a colleague of his, who was driving what would have been an empty van down to Christchurch, collected the desk.

I have a good lead on a replacement so hopefully I will be back to painting soon

I must say that this set of little guys is quite wonderful to look at! Nice work on the tartan which can certainly be a trial.
And horses - nice. I really like horses that other people paint 

My favorite (beside the pipers) are the vickers MGs. The highlighting that suggests worn paints makes them.

Good luck in the pursuit of a new desk and may the powers that guide such thing make it perfectly level.

Really excellent work, Paul ! 

Hope you find a suitable replacement desk, as soon as...

Cheers - Phil.

[Steve J]

Nice work especially the kilts. Fingers crossed you get a writing desk replacement soon.

Just lovely

Take care

Great job on those highlanders!

My replacement fold down writing desk arrived on Saturday 

I got the chance to 'christen' it last night 

Last batch of this echelon prepared, 17 various German cavalry for Peter to use as signallers etc

It is slightly smaller than my last desk and the pigeon holes are laid out differently which makes it feel a bit strange when using it, I'm sure I'll get used to it

[Techno]

I'm sure you will, Paul. 

Cheers - Phil

Looks like I need to move from Photobucket, any suggestions for free picture hosting?

Hello Paul

Looks like I need to move from Photobucket, any suggestions for free picture hosting?

Photobucket has become very wobbly for me and has taken a savage dislike to Adblockers.

The three top contenders I am looking at are:-

Of course as a card carrying member of the Ancient Order of Procrastinators I haven't got around to selecting which one yet  .

Thanks GOM, I'll have a look & let you know which I go with

[paulr]

Cavalry horses base coated and highlighted

Except for one horse where I only noticed I'd missed a couple of small areas of base coat near the reins  when about to highlight
Base coat touched up, will be highlighted when properly dry

[paulr]

Errant horse dry brushed

Manes, tails and hooves done on all
