      Paul buddy I knew you weren't critcising, in fact I thought your comments were great .:thumb2:
      I have done a first thin coat of flat AK varnish on the German group. The Russians have now swelled in number to at least 10 ! Using a Tamiya T34 Tank riding group. Have built these before, on my first ever dio . No point in rushing to get it done as can see the benefits of expanding the figures .

        It's turning into a Hollywood epic - cast of thousands! Good for you.

            Hi John
            Steady, steady or you'll end up with a base the size of the dining room table.

                            A late evening from Race Towers. Another sunny day here, no sight of those storms that have caused so much trouble. Only caused the green house to be full of hanging baskets , considering they had only been put out earlier in the week .

                            Moving on , thanks for the comments, sea foam thread has been started, so Paul there is a link to the seed supplier . Si and Jim have already sent off for some , so Cpl Jones hurry up .
                            Joe your always welcome.
                            Having had a busy week in the garden the bench has been deserted , but a few hrs here and there have seen the Russian figures progress steadily. A total of 10 , I give you .
                            [ATTACH]303287[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303288[/ATTACH]

                            Some of you might remember the Maxim gun. Found that one of the Tamiya figures does match the gun, so pleased about that . Just makes it slightly different.

                            Eldest daughter was taken into hospital earlier to night, with severe back pain. This was following a rush to hospital a couple of weeks ago , only to be told a review will be made in 2 months. This time shes was given Morphine to stop the pain, and has been told the surgeon will check on her tomorrow. All caused by a fall several years ago in which her spine must have been damaged.
                            Never ends does it .

                            Well all things being ok above I should get this finished this week, some weapon slings have been painted , just need the tape to dry and they can be sliced and glued on . Then the placing, really looking forward to this as have no idea where all the Russians are going to go !
                            Thanks for following.
                            John.

                              Terrific work on the figures John - there's no stopping you now.

                              Sorry to hear of your daughter's back problems. Hope all is well.

                                Thanks Peter.
                                As you well know we just seem to lurch from crisis to the next !
                                Figures have come out well, those new brushes have been great to work with. Just need to concentrate on faces. But this time they will just have a wash.
