Forces are mustering .


First of all - evict Hugo from the photo shoot ! 


Colonele Danby parades two compamyes of musketeers of his Regimente of Foote on the College Green in Felpersham , he now awaits the arrival of a Companye of Pikemen to bolster his force ready for his march on Borchester to evict Royalist curs ! .


His Sergeante demonstrates 'The Postuers of a Musketeer' . There has been a bit of a hiccup in getting these figures table ready as my varnish went solid and I had to wait till I went into town to get a new one . (I have a theory that the makers of varnish like super glue producers make most of their money for their customers never using 100%  of the products before it goes hard) .

  1. Hi Tony- my guess is that you are using 'Yacht Varnish' - perhaps an idea is to de-cant some of the varnish into a smaller seallable container for immediate use with the main tin being sealed up - this may prevent air spoiling your fun. Your figures look terrific. Cheers. KEV.

    1. Yes I think the problem is that I'm constantly opening it and don't get a better seal when I shut it , I'm told turning it upside down when in storage helps .

  3. You are exactly right Tony, I've never been able to use a varnish or super glue completely before it gums up! I like Hugo, he looks just like George, my daughter's cat!
