At least I know my place in the home - Bonio anybody ?
Cheers, Mike.

Ha to both ! Yes Stalin will be cursed alright, but if he stands there long enough his boots soles will freeze to the fender ! The photo reminds me of attempting to share a bed with Mrs R and Gertie our beloved late Doberman. To wake up with a large Dober dog lying upside down with it's legs sticking up in the air looking you straight in the eye , breathing that foul dog breath on to you is some thing I remember well. I often though It was a hint I should sleep elsewhere !

LOL, yes I still get that early morning breath, Nell, the one under the quilt lays flat on her back with all legs stretched fore and aft :smiling6:

JR, the Rooskies are just as I had imagined they would be! Congrats on a fine selection for your latest effort. Looking forward to seeing the final results. Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks Rick, I bought the MiniArt figures of the guys pushing a truck, I could see that with a little help two could fit the scene.

You are turning into the master craftsman with your figure work mate. Very impressive. If you are looking for heads PDiddy has several thousand around his house. The police thought he was the shrunken head collector of old Kentish Town until they realised they were plastic. LOL

[Neil Merryweather]

Those figures are looking very promising,John, good poses.

Hi John
Whitewash does look good. Figures work really well.
Very proud of you for being so "tidy" with the body parts.

I have been informed by Senior Management that they , the two dogs , have been there for 3 weeks. To think that this morning I had put a build in front of the last one and not even seen it !

I was thinking that you might be trying for membership of the TBC but then read the above - oh dear John. Your old ways prevail :tongue-out3:

Commander Race I agree with Jim looks like your out of your comfort zone and doing well lots of changes at the Race towers

Do you want cash or cheque, please advise. Thanks Steve :thumb2:, bit of arm setting changed, and one hand cut off and re fitted in a different angle. The times they fell off the car while I tried the arm at the different angles nearly drove me SANE !
As for Mr P Diddy and his heads, I don't want the police battering down my front door thinking I've joined the notorious PDiddy gang !

Those figures are looking very promising,John, good poses.

Thanks Neil, managed it with out having to rely on drilling / wire use, actually used some CA with some baking powder. Seems to have worked, tomorrow I should find out when I come to sand .

Thanks Jim, well they were all in one ex Flora tub. I got so feed up with sorting them out every time I asked Management for some ziplock bags, of course she had some lurking in drawer. Now it's so easy. Sorry to have disappointed you, failed again :loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-crying:.

Lee, I do have mad moments when I'm really tidy at the bench, but them it desends into chaos . Unlike my filing which is and I say so my self is fantastic ! When you have a tax inspection at home and the revenue inspector compliments you on your accounts with " You missed your vocation, you should have been an accountant ! " Probably the nicest thing I have been told ! Nerds Rule ! I had enlightened her with the offer of looking at my consumables list with 37 sub divisions, where upon she declined ! Oh Happy day it was .:nerd:

Great job Dzohn. PaulE

Thank you Paul, I took a photo esp for you today, " crap in the back " in a posting about a visit . :smiling3:

Good morning UK put your in time zone in anywhere else :smiling5:
Because the weather has been so good naturally I've been in the garden

Done some on the BA20 and the other one that's not mentioned!
Put the heads on two of them last night, who else thinks the guy in the right looks like Putin


The officer is missing his arms, there's some great detail on his tunic which if I fit the arms I'll never be able to paint later.







I've done a small base as can been seen
Oil washes done, no point in doing a lot as the snow will cover much .

Off back in to the garden


Until lunch time then too hot.
Back later .

Nice garden John.
I think that figure looks like Putin's father!

Thanks Pete, south facing so great for sun loving plants.
Unfortunately for us gets too hot midday, we have to retire to the shade .

Back again, just fired up the H& S Infinity, to see how it compares to my normal H&S ultra.

Mixed some primer with the correct amount of Vallejo flow improver No 71-562 and some thinners.
Having played with locking system where it stops you from opening right up I gave the 3 figures some white, mainly from the top,followed by some grey from the bottom.
Seems ok, the AB is superb with the flow rate, will use this again when doing the next armour.




Right back to the garden ! Plants to place.
Thanks for looking in, C& C welcome
