I once knew a girl from Sweden............. PaulE

[SimonT]

They’ve both had some modifications while they were away

I‘ve read a figure painting book, well, I looked at the shiny pictures, so all I have to do now is attack them with a hairy stick and see what damage I can do this time

[Mini Me]

This has turned into an epic project.......seems everyone on the forum has a vested interest in the "lovely Julie" and her "wascaly" accomplice. Nice progress Simon, looking forward to the hairy stick magic. Rick H.

[minitnkr]

Who made my knees weaken...... PaulE

[Mini Me]

Yes..........I wonder whose website she is livening up now days? Rick H.

[minitnkr]

When her gaze fell upon me unbidden........PaulE

[Steve Jones]

You don't do things by half Mr T. Well third time lucky my friend

[minitnkr]

She stood six two with eyes of blue and could snatch her own weight while laffen.
The fair Julie brings her image to mind all golden. PaulE

[Mini Me]

Someone call for Matron.........I think Paul's off his meds again. Rick H.

[minitnkr]

Indeed. You wouldn't forget her either if you'd seen her. Did in fact resemble the fair Julie with about 20lbs added mostly to legs, arms & shoulders. Was one of my wife's best friends. Last word was in 68 when she took off to clown school so she could join the circus or terrify children, I forget which. It was the 60s. PaulE

[Mini Me]

She probably has a nice Gig working for the Shrine Circus and married to some AWB and they have to kids (Grown up) and two grand kids all getting on very well.......now take your meds before Matron shows up and has you try on the one way sports coat:tongue-out3: Rick H.

[minitnkr]

Or, she got bored, joined a kibbutz in Israel and retired a colonel in the IDF. She had a warrior's heart. PaulE

[SimonT]

You're all mad, in a nice way of course

Well, Steves third time lucky prophecy didn't come to pass

The new MIG paints that I mixed the base pink from dried shiny - not usually a problem but this time I found that when I tried to paint Wabbit the paint wouldn't stick properly

Very patchy and rather a mess so I have given them both a coat of AK ultra matt to seal them - back to the start anyway for Mr Wabbit so there will be a bit of a delay again

Thinking about it as I write this I am wondering if I hadn't got the brush clean enough from using the weathering enamels :thinking:

Might be an idea to invest in more brushes so I can keep a set for acrylic and a set for enamel/oils......

[minitnkr]

Natural bristle for natural base & man made for acrylic has worked well for me. PaulE

[Mini Me]

Yes indeed, natural bristle tends to go wonky in water based paints. Rick H.
