Completed Yankees. The good guys wore blue.t

Wow that's a big bag of grass, hmm maybe I shouldn't call it that on line. Do people still call it grass or is that consigned to the long lost past!

Doing bits n' bobs, and sealing the ground work with matt varnish.
Indoors. Not shivering today.
(I found out today that the Reb canteen should be wooden; too late now, and it'll stand out better on the base anyway)

 

[Briggsy]

Nice work, battle field detritus, it'll add greatly to the feel.of the piece.

Cheers Simon

Oh, FFS!!! I'm ill again!
In bed by 20.30 last night. Just shifted covid and then we all went down with a bloody cold.
Arse!!!

 

[Briggsy]

Bad luck, as they say 'life's a bitch and then you die' though hopefully it's not that bad a cold because I want to see the conclusion of your vignette! Selfish I know so please get well soon.

Cheers Simon

Sorry to hear that it seems to be going around, not feeling great myself.
Snap I hit the sack at 8.30 last night too.
Get well soon

Thanks. Best of luck with your bug.
(Beer still tastes good, so that's a plus)

Thanks! It's more annoying than anything else.

Did the grass this morning. Mannn....

 

[MalcC]

Grass looks good. What did you use for it?

Malc

 

[David Spencer]

Scatter grass replaced with boiled spinach

It's Hornby Skale Scenics scatter grass.
Yet to be painted.

 

[David Spencer]

My god....!
Just had a quick browse of Historex Agents and it looks like all the decent stuff has gone.
A sad echo of what used to be available; some of what's left is laughable.

 

[Briggsy]

Boiled Spinach for grass LOL. Looks good so far. Historex Agents better keep going, just for the Historex spare parts for me, it's a shame really that they letting the business slide so much.

I wonder how much Brexit affected this, with import duties etc.

Probably quite a bit but I think with the original driving force behind the company all gone there isn't the passion there used to be.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

It looks like it's a spent force

 

[David Spencer]

Toning the grass down.
A long way to go yet.
Mildly frustrating that the phone camera adds a big whack of yellow to the colours.

 

[Briggsy]

It's getting there, I have to admit it's often at this stage I lose interest and want to.move on to a new project.

Oh and one other thing, talking to you and Malc on here has some how left me full of cold!

Cheers Simon

Ah, sorry about that.
Coughing like a gas victim here.

Must be a different one then, sneezing like one of the seven dwarves and completely bunged up! Deep joy, still painting though.

Cheers Simon
