Cloud, drizzle and/or showers forecast for the next 10 days
Not looking promising for varnishing

A big thank you to MAgamer for his mention of pizza boxes
I've currently filled 4 with 6mm figures and vehicles to free up draw space for the output of this project
I've also got 4 pizza boxes of hedges and another 2 to come

Flags added to two of the units of the current batch and edges touched up
When I went to cut out the flags for the third unit I realised I had made one of them with the wrong device Piles Wavy rather than Cinquefoils
I've corrected the flag and will reprint and add tomorrow

Paul is putting a lot of effort into the Cheriton refight....I'm sure the end result will be worth the wait 

It always is, Peter !!

Corrected flags added to Sir Edward Stradling's Regiment, both standards now have Cinquefoils
Edges done on those standards

I've just checked the forecast and no varnishing weather in the next 10 days
Hopefully, the showers will clear enough to let me get the 30 hedges and 3 units I have waiting done

I've done 150 hedges, have another 70 hedges at various stages in the process, and 30 waiting to be varnished
So only another 50 to do

No varnishing weather for the next 10 days !!  

Mind you, you certainly wouldn't be able to do any varnishing here for the next few days !
Not only would the figures get very wet.....They'd get blown off the table !

Cheers - Phil.
