I've checked with the trader, yes there is only one, who will be at Call to Arms and he is currently out of stock of Testors Dulcote
His supplier has it on back order

I might take some pictures of the un-varnished first English army after the weekend

[paulr]

New undercoat and wash acquired over the weekend

Dulcote still on back order
Yes, I know there are other varnishes I could try but I don't want to risk it

Ran out of time today for unvarnished piccies

[paulr]

Weather has not been great for the last few days, cloudy or showers, not good for piccies

I've finally managed to get some more paint on the current batch of the second English army, livery colours nearly done

[Techno]

Weather has not been great for the last few days,

It's been pretty rubbish here, as well, Paul. 

Cheers - Phil

I visited our nearest FLGS on Saturday and did not come away empty handed either (after I had first done my duty and visited my in-laws who live not too far from the shop  ) .....got some decal softening and setting compounds on order to do decals for 1/600th planes and 1/3000th carrier decks......and some other stuff for a rainy day project I have thought about doing for quite a few years now.

Well you have to support local suppliers where you can, though in this case "local" is a 45 - 50 minute drive up to the Kapiti Coast. There are no longer any "true" model shops in Wellington.....though there is a GW outlet not too far from where I live, useful for getting Citadel washes from.

Good progress on the current batch of the second English army

• wood done
• manes, tails & hoovers done

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Hoovers?
Dyson or Electrolux?

[Ithoriel]

They will sweep the enemy from the field :-)

[Techno]

For reasons only known to them,  the mutts eat the bits of the hoovers after the farrier has been *......Then later on, they chuck them back up.

Cheers - Phil. 

*Von's given up trying to bury those 'hoofings' on the muck heap, as the dogs just dig them up.

Charming! The joys of having pets, or children for that matter .
