Completed Iron Brigade

Never fancied Glastonbury festival.
Wife has it on the TV: embarrassing, we agreed.
No longer on TV.

We went to Download once and only for one day, way too big, never again. We do Stonedead in Newark now and maybe Maid of Stone in Maidstone next year as well.

Cheers Simon

Was Download once The Monsters of Rock in Donnington?

Yes, same show ground different management and I assume the same mud.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

Thanks.
It was very popular at school when I was a teenager in Leicestershire. Always saw a lot of MoR t-shirts afterwards.

When I was in the Army and for many years after music was just something that happened when the radio went on. I did favour rock even then but never sought it out, guess I have to make up for lost time.

Shading

 

[Briggsy]

Nice start, the blue of the coat is a nice shade, gives a subtle contrast to the backpack.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

Thanks Simon.
I'm enjoying this fella, more than the last one.
The long days and overcast skies are really handy, too.
How's your eye?

The great British summer,overcast skies! I was supposed to be in Cyprus for 10 days but with the hip we decided to cancel, so we planned a day out on the south coast for tomorrow, checked the weather 80% chance of rain, typical.

Eyes fine now till next time, without the injections though I'd lose the sight so I can't complain, well I could but I'm not gonna.

Cheers Simon

Take it easy, mate.
And enjoy the day out, regardless of the weather.
I hope your hip gets sorted out before long.

Christ... did I actually back the winning side for once?

 

[Briggsy]

Whoever won it's a moral victory for the monster raving loony party!

 

[David Spencer]

We kept our bouffant gobshite, sadly

Hi Nap
Progress is ongoing, but there's little to show in photographic terms. It's pretty glacial.
I'll stick a pic up when a visible difference is discernible.
Cheers

Great work on the figure and great taste in music!

You're very kind.
Thanks

Knapsack and blanket roll done, for now. A bit of additional highlighting may be necessary when it's fitted to the figure, depending on how toning of that goes.
I can't get a satisfactory photo, so ain't posting anything yet.
Musket and disembodied hand currently underway; much still to do.

 

[Briggsy]

Damn photography, if I were religious I'd call it a dark art

Cheers Simon
