Progressing well Roger

Cheers Ralph, it's hard work after painting a lot of 30mm flats but good fun all the same.

Flats and rounds, there's just no stopping you Roger.
And with such speed too.

I think It was them getting fed up with being drowned in Dettol on three separate occasions each.

Thank you Ralph.
I use Broken Toad size 0 and 1, Rosemary & Co 2/0, 3/0 and 10/0.
I've also got some cheap brushes from The Works and the Pound Shop for blending, mixing and stuff like that.
