Morning Peter

Lovely work on the smock Peter

I have noted the colour combo too, as I have quite a few 1/35 paras in the retirement stash.

Looks like your negotiating skills are well honed, hopefully another good session today?

The weather is still awful and so grey too!

Have a good day

Richard - Cheers matey.

Steve - Thanks re the smock. Should be able to get the trousers at least done today - daughter being very reasonable about bench time (they want help with their first mortgage). Bright start here - lets hope it lasts.

The good old Bank of Mum and Dad. Fortunately the things we get for are fairly modest.....

Andrew - We have to sign up for a joint mortgage, otherwise they can't get one. Fortunately we won't be contributing financially (as yet!). We've just paid ours off and we we're just beginning to enjoy a bit of financial lee-way as well.

Understand! We've still got 10ish years left on ours.

I work for the finance arm of a premium car manufacturer and joint applications for the same reasons are not uncommon. Needless to say I hope everything goes smoothly with the house purchase.

The legs:



The base is an old Verlinden one from the spares box. Just the hands and rifle to do now.

The FeR 1/16 bust has arrived in the meantime, and as it happens it's too small anyway:



I might paint it as an appendix to this thread.

Another great effort Peter. Well done Indeed!

[Guest]

Thanks Andrew. Not quite finished yet.

[Neil Merryweather]

I say, Mr Day, that's rather good, what?

[Guest]

Thank you Bertie.

[Richard48]

Nicely done Pierre.The FER one does look a dinky little blighter.Make a nice pair together.Think it might have the G.P 120mm still somewhere.

I'll bet you enjoyed all the drapery on the trousers, its has achieved the zenith of shading, well done.

Its perhaps just as well that the bust was a ""different"" scale as your head choice was a good one.

I guess it will ne a quiet day and the small bust next?

enjoy the better light, but its cold out there!
