Looking very good; like the color choices.

Ok, Geoff, now you've gone and done it! This was residing peaceably in my grey army and your painting here has forced me to pull it out and look at it. Nice work on all the colors!

Bob

Many thanks Bob, do have a go at it, it is a super bust to paint.

Thank you, you can chose the colours which makes a change with military stuff.

Geoff, its nice to get to the painting stage, just need to dodge the task master lol, I have taken extreme measures be slipping out of bed at 6.30am on Saturdays and Sundays to set up my bench on the kitchen table and its like the world has come to an end when the wife gets up, if you could see the look I get when she opens the Kitchen door lol.

Terry, I am truly sorry that you do not have a dedicated place to work. I am very fortunate that I have my own "man cave" to work in and the world's most supportive wife to urge me on. I may occasionally call her SWMBO, but only when she is berating me because I am not working on one of my figures.

There you go Geoff another one for the Cabinet, nice choice of colours and as you say we learn with each piece that we paint and carry that onto the next subject, nice one.
