Sorry Phil, according to the 10 day weather forecast next Wednesday or Thursday are the first days of varnishing weather

Showers and/or strong winds or gales until then
I might get lucky and get a window between the showers and when the wind drops as it changes direction...

[Techno]

Move over to Wales then, Paul.....

We're having 'something' approaching the third 'proper' (HAH !!) Summer here for the last  15 years. 

Cheers - Phil.

Paul,

You might be interested to hear that  since I restructured my Muscovite army - changing the Behemoth pike block to 2 Spear elements - I will be doing a different army for the GBnUIT. Yep it is going to be a British AWI army which I decided upon due to a friend doing an American army also for the tournament. Always loved the period and of course the uniforms are always a treat. it is a totally different approach than how you are going about it, but a common thread. My main British brigade will be he 35th in orange facings and the 54th in popinjay facings. My Behemoth element will be a combined Indian with Butler's Rangers war party. Made it a Behemoth because it is big in a foes mind and creates terror to it's enemies. Plus it will be fun to paint.

I look forward to seeing them Terry

Yellow facings done 'twice' on Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts

I also grabbed the chance to take some pictures of the British before the sun went down
There was enough light despite a heavy sun shower
