    Thanks Les, yes very much looking forward to experience.

    Just come across another sobering story about an ANZAC Private Ryan like story.
    Five sons went away to serve, only one came home:

    Never heard that description before Andy - thanks mate!
    Certainly have been striving to get a broader colour palette.

    Stay safe. Happy Easter to you & family.

    Now THAT"S what I'm talking about. I swear I can see the hairs on his arms actually standing up, so I thought maybe you had discovered a new use for static grass. As an aside, the use of old wine corks for painting bases is a stroke of genius and I will be stopping by the liquor store for some painting supplies straight away!
