Poor Paul, just imagine how much more painting he would get done if he wasn't being constantly pestered for pictures. I mean he's such a slow painter already....

Weather was better than forecast so I got the chance to varnish the Syracuse figures

Not long after it clouded back up again

There was one brief break in the clouds and the sun shone through, didn't last long enough for any piccies

There may be an opportunity tomorrow afternoon "Morning rain clearing to fine. Cloud increasing evening."

My Iberians have their flock sealed down and are waiting to be packed away. Ch'in and Han are jostling each other in the queue.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Shouldn't your Iberians be in lockdown ?

[FierceKitty]

They are now. I'll be locking down the two ancient Chinese armies this evening.
