Morning Peter

Lovely work and the fur contrast is a logical choice.

The white scarf is superb work.

The facial expression seems to me to be :-

"Is that it then?"

Sounds like home life is quite full and chaotic at the moment too

Keep hydrated and take paracetamol for the cough/cold/man flu.

All our decorations are down now, and Christmas has been packed away for another year.

I snuck up into the attic whilst Anna was at mass and retrieved my nuts and PE bolts for the Stug III B.

Sounds like you have your hands full and a little painting might be hard to come by.

Enjoy the day and keep the fluids up

Chris - :thumb2:

Steven - Thank you.

Scottie - Thanks also.

Jason - And thank you too.

Steve - I've changed my mind about the fur and will attempt to make it all the same colour. My daughter and granddaughter are off home today, so there will be a big clean-up operation over the next couple of days, but I should be able to get some painting done.

Lunchtime update:



I've repainted the fur elements so that it all matches. The texture on each was the same, so it looks better one colour.

I'v also started the life-vest.

Looking very nice ,as always, Peter.

[Guest]

Cheers Steve.

The front of the life-jacket is finished:



The sleeves are just blocked-in for now.

Morning Peter

Steady progress and either way with the fur lining looks OK.

There is still quite a lot to paint?

I guess it will be quiet now 1/2 the family has left?

Still grey, cold and breezy, not as much light as you might like?

I shall be doing track links for awhile and watching Red Dwarf on NetFlix.

Have a good day with the paints and hopefully a little good light too

Regards

Very nice work Peter,
I hope you are more productive when you're home alone... I know for sure I am :thinking: :smiling5:. Kind regards :thumb2:

Steve - Just me and my son and the dog now, and the sense of peace and tranquillity is amazing. I love my granddaughter to death, but boy, am I exhausted. The sun has come out today, which has really helped progress, so now I'm at the varnishing stage. Track links and Red Dwarf sound like a good combination - good luck.

Steven - Definitely more productive! Progress wasn't helped by my granddaughter's attention to my paint box. She managed to open some Vallejo Off White yesterday and I got a good telling-off from her mother!

I've painted the arm patch as the more usual 'risen sun' motif.

Hi Peter
That is beautiful. Grandad duties certainly are exhausting. Love my little one to bits but she's like the Duracell Bunny :smiling:
