Hello again everyone, or in the case of the new people...hello. It has been a long while since I darkened your doors. But after Mr Leon kindly dropped me an email to check whether I was still alive then I thought I had better re-appear and annoy you all again.  Nope I certainly haven't been eaten by a killer whale, one of the reasons I am not going wild swimming in the sea. I look too much like a tasty seal.
Pretty much life the universe and my blog got in the way! So after Leon's email I went and found some 10mm stuff that was sitting in a box and decided to get back with the programme. So here they are in their unfinished state...http://bogenwald.blog/2021/03/01/dwarves-with-added-colour/ . Hopefully I will get back into the forum thing a bit more when I can.

Welcome back !!!

The Blog looks good (I've started following it) and love the beach shots, which look superb. Very jealous

Good stuff, welcome back to the fold

Glad to hear you have avoided Killer Whales!

I was thinking sumat 'ad et the cables, lo again

Welcome back. I sometimes look at old posts and wonder where people are and if they are ok.

Good to see you are back.

Cheers guys, I have no excuses now really as we now have relatively fast super fast broadband.
I just about got the dwarves finished last night. Onto Mongols or Plains wars next (I made a vow not to buy anything new until I had reduced the lead pile a bit - either painted or sold).

Aye aye.

Welcome back. 

If you're ever on the West Side, please post a photo of my old homestead at Browland. It's a very long white house ... you can't miss it.

Like this one?

That's the place. 

I was born in the room under the 2nd chimney from the left. It was called the Far End until my grandfather built on an extension for a lady called Mary-Anne.   

The hill across the voe is the Ward of Browland, and there's the remains of a Pictish broch at the top. Also a great view.

Apparantly there are orcas which eat seals, there are other orcas which eat fish and other orcas again which eat whales.

So pick your killer whale carefully.

I used to have a customer who went swimming in Norwegian fiords with a camera to film orcas. He said his orcas were safe enough.
