Keep going, Paul 

Did you notice any effects from that cyclone ?......I assume you were hundreds of miles away.
But as it was SO severe......
Cheers - Phil

Nothing yet, tail end of it should arrive tonight

Will probably be some rain and a bit of wind. Use to wind living in Wellington, anything under 100kmph is not worth commenting on 

Will likely be worse for the Gisborne area, schools closed today

The Thumbling Dice ones come with caste masts and rigging. I'm looking to fight big battles and the ships are cheap
Also 1:4,800 is a workable ground scale, 4cm to the cable

Current batch washed on Monday night and highlighted yesterday, did the final silver highlighting before work this morning 

The missing arm has been replaced thanks to a personal visit by the organiser, the Armchair General 

Looks like I should be able to pick up my next batch from the local organiser tonight or tomorrow   

Will probably be Turkish wounded 
Some of the painters, including my son, have commented on how sad it is to paint significant numbers of wounded/dead

I will be picking up my last batch about noon tomorrow  

Just under 10 days to go  

I have now varnished the 24 figures I have painted...

Cracking work, Paul !
Cheers - Phil.

Brilliant, Paul. Congratulations. 

Beautiful work.

They're superb! 

 

Just picked up my last batch of this project 

10 New Zealanders 

All casualties in various poses 

Will have to improvise a bit on colours, will see what I need to buy vs mix something close enough

Less than 9 days to go 

New batch cleaned up and washed
