Verlinden US Infantry Desert Storm

Peter
Too much of something I think

[Steve Brodie]

Steve - The non-edible kind I'm afraid. My diabetes means I haven't indulged for a couple of years - do miss it.

If you have an Aldi near by then this and you like dark chocolate then 'their' Moser Roth 85% dark chocolate (link) is excellent for taste and carb content. Its only 3gm Carbs per 25g piece, and you get 5 individually wrapped 25g bars.

Nice to see you doing another modern warfre figure. Really looking forward to seeing how this comes out. Good luck with the camo

[Guest]

Lee - :thumb2:.

Steve B - My trouble is that I'd eat them all at once anyway.

Steve J - Thanks for looking in. May have bitten off more than I can chew.

So;


Got the head and flak vest mostly done. Still some refining to do, but the light has gone now - in fact it's been appalling all day, with low cloud and heavy rain (hence poor pictures). Not sure if I feel like carrying on with this one - will have to see how it looks tomorrow.

Oh my, sorry Peter there's no more words in the English dictionary to describe your work.
What do you mean"not sure if I feel like carrying on with this one" please don't stop that camo pattern is brilliant, it's seamless.
Pete.

[Jon Heptonstall]

Great camo Peter :smiling3:.

[Guest]

Thanks very much chaps. I guess I was feeling a bit tired and emotional after struggling up close with this beastie for hours in failing light. Looks a bit better after a couple of hours kip with the dog (not sure I do!).

Morning Peter

Super work on the camo, and with poor light too, well done.

Its going to be dull for awhile, perhaps a natural light bulb or would than aggravate your eyes?

Off to town to find some fine mesh sieves for our bird feeders.

We are getting nightly visits from an urban fox, so I need to reduce the fall out from the bird feeders, just in case the fox is eating the bits.

Hope you get some quality painting done.

After the harnesses and equipment, the camo is going to be less visible, even if you feel its not as good as it really is.

Have a good weekend

Regards

Steve H

Morning Steve

The camo at the front will virtually disappear under the equipment, so that's a bonus! The light's better today, but yes, I need to invest in a strong daylight bulb, especially as the normal daylight is limited at this time of year.

I had a visit from a fox last year in full daylight. I was sitting painting by an open window, and there he was, six feet away. We stared at eachother for a while, then he trotted off. Love em, lovely creatures.. Hope the shopping trip produces results.

Arms and trousers:



Will probably mess about with the pebble dots a bit, but for the moment I've lost the will to live.
