Yes but don't let "she who must be obeyed" find out, she has a jobs list as long as your arm for me to do.

What only as long as your arm??

You must have been very good somewhere in the past.

Nice work though. I must admit I was a bit worried when I saw some of the figures posed to shoot through the one in fronts head!
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

That was just a "before and after" shot showing all the bits and bobs that I have carved off the 1870 Prussian Infantry to turn him into a 1905 Russian.

Good to have you back on line again.

A starte made on the Richelieu Stpes.
Strips of card for the steps and then a try making the side blocks with ex-poly but even if coated with plaster it would be rough. So 2 sides made from MDF, steps need a clean up on the sides and some filler on the front of the step.

Well glued the 2 sides to the cardboard steps last night but found even with very little pressure on the clamps it was bending the cardboard, So decided to turn whole thing onto its side and just put a weight onto the top. Everything OK so left it for a good nights sleep (thats me not the steps).

Today I find that during the night one of the sides has moved down and is lower than the other side @;**7 and other nautical language.
It also transpires that I have done such a good job with the glue it will not budge.

Can I live with it at different heights NO. So its chop it up and try again OR add some acrylic to each of the low sides to bring them into equal sizes, we shall see how it goes !!!!

You are correct as always Kiteman -- so the low side has now had some acrylic added to bring both sides level.

Work started on the pram that rolls down the steps during the massacre in the film.
