Good evening from Race Towers.
Firstly thanks for all the good wishes for Kay, we are going to see her tomorrow, but like all visitors will make it short and sweet .
Now excitement, yes we are nearly there, the Russian contingent are recovering from an oil wash. ..............yes I know.... you all said. I wanted and did try the acrylic ones, but they were so weak it would take numerous coats to achieve any great depth, cap in hand I returned to the oils.
Buried under the bench I found my old box of W & N oil paints, all the ones I bought a couple of months ago were already there.
.
Of course now being a member of the Tidy Bench Club I found numerous lost items on the floor and under stored rubbish during the massive tidy up . Including the wheels from my Kitten, several helmets, and one Russian sub machine gun, completely painted.
Promised myself to keep the floor clean this time, no promise about the bench though.
This afternoon I took the dio outside into the sun, for some photos and to fix the German figures. Much easier to walk around the dio when on a table.
Like the Oscars I have to thank the following people, who have kindly donated .
Peter Day....... for the set of great German figures.
Bobby Dale ...... for a sprue of German figures.
Peter Gillson...... sending me some cast drain covers, sadly one now is under one of the Stugs.
.
Wouter .......... for confirming the Stug was indeed the correct version.
Alan Dewire... for his unflagging support in his weekly pms.
and to all those ex MM members who have followed along from day one, also the members on Scale -Model
who have joined in. I give you .
