You have to be as mad as a bag of cats in this game, it all started when I took the Queens shilling.

That explains a lot at this end too !

I was once asked (Ian Hanratty, Friendship Models),
"Paul when you joined up ; was a Centurion a Rank or a tank".

Bless him, that was rather good.

I belted him with my vine stick,
fancy mistaking me for a cavalryman,
What .......with these feet ?

Lovely stuff Paul - he looks even better on the base. What I really like is all the different greens in the foliage and coat set off with the reds in the facings and the brickwork.
Cheers

Cheers Mat, that's what I was trying to do.
I made the tree with the idea an apple tree would do that with the varied reds and greens.
But because it has to be early 1805 too soon for apples, so the colours had to be in the brick and foliage.
I think my planning mistake has resulted in a better model !

The tree began as dark glossy holly green foliage, oversprayed, (misted really), with matt varnish first ,
then from above only, a mid green, then pale yellow from spray cans.
The brand name is. 'Gold' the us company.
Thanks for looking

Great finish Paul... Fantastic paint and amazing groundwork. The masonry turned out excellent and that has to be one of the most realistic miniature trees I've seen.

Excellent job, tree to toes
