Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

That is a serious amount of sculpting; I would love to know what all of this cost :o

Keep going Paul, its almost finished - last week I had to assemble 10 Maori seated hunched over, 10 Infantry seated hunched over, 10 Mounted Rifles seated and 10 Mounted Rifles walking for our Auckland painting group we got stuck in at a Sunday session and will finish them at home this week, also got about 60 loose hats to do as well. The week before assemble 30 New Zealand and Turk Infantry. We are doing this as a painting group so I am not the only one assembling and painting which is great as out this this I have met a great group of guys so its been a very rewarding enterprise. Assembling the hunched over seated figures was a nightmare but. The neck and hole had to be modified and required a lot of filling but its all under paint now so all good. I am looking forward to getting back to my 1870 forces which are much easier and the results come quicker.

Good progress on the Kiwis and Turk, base coated and most of the main colours done yesterday  :)

This was despite several hours of very tense cricket watching :-SS X_X :-SS X_X ~X( :-SS X_X :-SS
A good result for New Zealand, first time into the finals of the World Cup after 40 years of trying  <:-P <:-P <:-P =D> =D> :-bd :-bd <:-P

No rifles for the Kiwi casualties

I dropped off my 24 finished figures at the local organiser's house tonight, I was surprisingly reluctant to leave them behind :-\

I picked up some discarded hats, webbing and rifles, 20 items in all to paint.

Also one of the guys in the local team has been unwell for over a week and has fallen behind. So I now have 10 of his assembled and base coated standing firing Turks in Fez to paint as well  :o :o

It's going to be a busy week  :!!

5 days and 16 hours left :!!

Apparently 4,000 wasn't enough figures so there are now 5,000 :o :o :o :o :o

I assume that's 5,000 not 50,000 ;D

Good luck with the deadline ;)
