It's a bast**d at times but there are far worse things out there, I know that :) I know that I am still coming to terms with the death of my Falklands war veteran Brother Bob who served in the RAMC, he died of a heart attack early this year aged just 59. I'm 100% focused on painting these lancers now :)'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-8263774311299872812020-07-14T03:37:42.238-07:002020-07-14T03:37:42.238-07:00Hello Norm thanks for the comment.

I think this could potentially be a superb unit once finished and I intend to take my time and give them everything I can.There is indeed something about holding a 40mm figure that is a bit special, especially the cavalry, and these will bring my total of mounted figures to 82!'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-88436316657713988642020-07-14T03:34:10.172-07:002020-07-14T03:34:10.172-07:00Hi John, I have made a couple of attempts to get s...Hi John, I have made a couple of attempts to get started on your figures, most recently only a few days ago when I actually had some up on the wine caps but just could not do them, I'm sorry.

I have always thought of 28’s and 40’s as being the most ‘joyous’ of scales and perhaps that is exactly what is needed right now. I bet the difference in weight in the hand while painting will be hugely noticeable ...... but also a delight :-)<br />Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-87379272322366623932020-07-13T08:36:44.912-07:002020-07-13T08:36:44.912-07:00Hi Lee , these lads are looking good, i've nev...Hi Lee , these lads are looking good, i've never tried doing 40mm figures stuck to 20mm since about 1959!!! you are indeed a talented painter, impressed, hope your mood lifts soon, look after youreself, stay safe, cheers Old Johnold johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13939079093965317317noreply@blogger.com
