I'm certified mad modifying those nine dancers and dressing them in full kit to play the part of western influenced eastern dancing ala Bangra Breakdancing.:tears-of-joy:
The three entries to be registered are Ambush, Kure Harbour and The Bedouins Ass.:smiling2:

Yep, even the monkeys are weired, some mimicking NBA or WBA players, others doing the Egyptian dance and doing the sign language. And some think they're Tarzan. :smiling3:

Thanks Andrew, I'm as impatient as to finish the rest but daily life gets in the way. Presently our oldest cat Zsa Zsa is very ill and is getting my attention with syringing her food and nourishment including medication but the subcutaneous has to be done at the vets daily to stop her dehydrating so a slight delay will interrupt postings.

Thank you John.

As I have some busy daily schedules the delay in the drying time of the oils and turpentine wash suites me fine for now. This old technique of wash is similar to the Mig and AK washes technique except it takes too damn long to dry. The difference lies in the turp and thinner but most of all the the nature of oil drying time. The most telling difference is the barrier between the wash and the base paint beneath. In the past I never thought of protecting the base paint with acrylic varnish as when cured the turps don't attack it immediately. So the thought of using enamels and thinner wasn't in any plan.
Anyway here are the pics of the wash...nice and dark with still a little hint of blue...

There are some subtle streaks which I will go over with some lighter shades.

Cheers,
Wabble

Zsa Zsa says thanks, managed her first few cheerful meows today and is eating on her own. Just have to manage her water intake.

Had some bench time so weathered the vehicles with dirt...basically painting in wet red earth colors and dusting. Also painted the equipment and lights.

Sorry to hear about your cat but good to hear she appears to be making some progress.

Vehicles are coming on very nicely!!
Well done.

Sorry Richard, I missed the news about your cat's health. Glad to know her health has been improving. It's hard for the cats when they fall ill and for their humans too.

Was typing when you posted Andrea. It's worse when they're really old and fussy. She looks awful now that her left eye is permanently dead and white from infection but is still has some fight in her.

Hope your furry friend goes on OK.
Weathering looks great.
