Thank you Keith.
I'm a bit concerned about the Nec Aspera Terrent motto but I'll do my best.

I tried that last night keith without much success. I have repainted the red and will give the same technique another try today. I should have put the brushes down when I said I think.

That phrase "I think" kills us all.......especially at night.
I am sure you will crack it Roger.
Good Luck

I've had another go at it this morning and quite optimistic for a better result.

Still working hard on the mitre, I've lost count how many times I've painted out and started again on the Nec Aspera Terrent motto. I'm still not entirely happy with it but I think I've now got a good base without needing to paint it out again.

It's looking great Roger, I was tempted last week too!

I don't think Stu took many of those v busts home. There was a crowd of hands in the box all day.

Looking forward to more on this.

Thanks Paul. For something that hasn't got any arms or legs there`s a lot to paint and enjoyable too. I'm chuffed my hand went in Stu`s box!
