Early Sunday Morning.


I got the figures based up and ready for spraying and so 'earlyish' on Sunday morning having fed the hens and dog - and taken my wife a cup of tea in bed I decided to spray them black - not ideal conditions - rather frosty ! .


Of course you need the proper gear for this sort of thing - carpet slippers and dressing gown .


Hugo came to see what was going on - and promptly left when I started shaking the spray can ! .


The leaders of the two forces , the French Officer on the left the British on the Right .


Once sprayed I quickly took them inside to let them dry , my wife came downstairs and said "what's that funny smell ?", oops ! thought she was still in bed !?.

    Good to see you are wearing the proper equipment. You've been dealing with my tailor I see.

    Neat little project. Lovely to see you using Minifigs - brings back memories of my schooldays and saturdays at the school wargamimg club - when napoleonic armies of Minifigs, Hinchliffe and Hinton Hunts battled on the tabletop ....

    Hmm perhaps should have presented a full breakfast to occupy her longer. I gave up spraying in favour of brushing on an undercoat due to issues with spousal issues with the fumes ftom spraying even if the figures spent a week drying in the wood shed and I changed my clothes before reentering the house. Winter priming was right out!

      Normally I leave the figures in the out house , but it was rather frosty so I thought I could get them dry before she arose , Tony

    Along with Ross, I reverted to brush undercoating after temperature issues, the paint or varnish drying with a strange finish. I'm looking forward to seeing these chaps finished and in action.
