80^th Foot's yellow facings second coat done

Guns heavy and light dry brushes done

Visited my most local show, ValleyCon, https://huttclub.wordpress.com/events/valleycon-2018/, three traders and over 120 players, big by NZ standards
A very small haul; one lot of flock, one pot of Vallejo paint, and two new brushes

The show is marking it's 20^th anniversary this year and made the local media https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/capital-life/100487360/wargaming-convention-celebrates-20-years-of--tabletop-battles

Knowing the difference between a haver and a hacksaw is an important test of reality, Mr Lemmy. Glad you sorted it out on your own.

Do you wash them on the driveway as well? I don't like the strange look people give me when i take them to the carwash...






Keep up the good work!

Shrubbery, base edges and flag done
Weather not cooperating, too windy for varnishing
Will have to wait for tomorrow
