Mad, bad and dangerous to know.

The secret to a good plan Keith is for it to be a very flexible plan.

Mine is so flexible it is like a rubber band. I have a workbench full of flexibility - thirteen on the go at the moment from 54 mm to 120mm all started one to two years back. I did finish one this year for a mate's 70th birthday. Now what was I going to do today?

Beautifully executed Roger. As already mentioned - a delight to behold and the lacework is superb.

Chris

Thank you very much Chris. To be perfectly honest whoever sculpted the lacework has made my job easy.

Благодаря.

Honestly ................... you touched my heart by writing 'thank you' in Bulgarian!

That was the first word I learnt when we stayed in Varna.

The blue on his mantle is excellent, Roger!

For our broader edification on British poets, here's a little documentary....



Prost!

Thanks Brad.

A bit further....

That's a fighting man's poetry book, if ever there was one..!!

Absolutely stunning Roger.
Your colour mix to the original Thomas Phillips painting is right on the button.
Love it as it is let alone when it's finished.
All the best
Keith

Thanks very much keith.
We've got a yellow weather warning for this afternoon,
Between 13:00 Sat 27th and 23:00 Sat 27th

Heavy, thundery showers on Saturday afternoon and evening have the potential to bring localised flooding, hail and frequent lightning.

so looks like an afternoon of painting.

Looking real nice Roger but it's all a bit Greek to me.

Thanks Ralph. Greek is easier to understand than his poetry if I'm honest.

 

[billyturnip]

The weather forecast was bang on, thunder and lightening this afternoon so......

 

[anstontyke]

superb mate.

superb mate.

Cheers Tony, just the base to paint, some touch up's, maybe a bit of tweaking here and there and it should be just about finished I think.
