Stll too bloddy hot to paint Having to run the heat pump as air conditioning and it doesn't cover my painting area

Meanwhile we're having the coldest snap since 2013.

Time to make a start on boring the exchanger vent through the core, methinks.

Indeed!

Finally manged to get one more dry brush colour painted yesterday before it got too hot

Three more to go...

Cooler with rain now but at work today  

Busy week at work but Friday off for Waitangi Day (our National day) so managed to get the last three lots of dry brushing done 

Blankets, rifle stocks and packs next

We have that over here, but it's quite random and called Waiting Around Day. Generally it's sponsored by the NHS.

It would be even funnier if it wasn't so true. 

Having used the services of the NHS quite a bit over the past few years I've been impressed by the speed and efficiency of the system.

For "Waiting Day" try US medical services. Unlike the NHS, where you get what you're given and woe betide you if you turn up late, the Americans let you pick a time and date that suits you but you then wind up waiting long enough to be able to write a novel let alone read one.

In my experience at any rate.

The corollary of that is when your doctor or community hospital gives you a slip with a red tag on it to take to the general hospital, you find you're next regardless of who's waiting. You also know you're in trouble.

Got the blankets done 
Then diverted into domestic duties 
To ensure smooth hosting of a game tonight 

Rifle stocks and packs next

Cracking stuff!
I really like those New Zealander troops

Were they wearing the old lemmon-squeezer hats back then?

The infantry probably were but the Mounted Rifles didn't

In what is begining to look like a pattern this project is now on hold, after this and the 1914 project put my AWI project on hold 

I am now one of the lucky volunteers painting 4,000 54mm Perry figures for a Peter Jackson organised diorama marking the 100^th Anniversary of ANZAC Day
