An undertaker? Am I going to regret asking what use an undertaker had for an airbrush?

Paul,

Dave

We used to do quite a few funerals with coloured coffins and the manufacturer s would send a pot of paint for touching up any scratches or scuffs and I was the only one that could use an airbrush. Sorry if you were expecting something more exciting.

Forgot to mention, I only need an airbrush for models these days as I am a manager on a poultry farm. The chickens don't need spraying, they look ok the colour they're meant to be.

Earned some extra cash of late and went to the not so local hobby shop (near Schiphol) for a little shopping trip:

Was on the lookout for the books, the decals, the Bigsin set and the Eggplane, the rest were extra’s…:nerd:

I like that piper Fernando

But aren't brown eggs worth more than white ones?

Not the cheapest cutters, but boy do the cut cleanly, my old cheap pair will be used for cutting the main plastic on the sprues.
Adhesive for trees,, better than the hairspray.
John.

I think I can see him and Christine starting to go out he will mistake it for hair spray

I honestly thought you were going to say, giving a rosy glow to deceased cheeks! >phew<

Do any of the other English Members have short wearing Postmen

I’m not an English Member, but one of the postmen around here is apparently an Englishman (or so I’ve been told — I’ve never exchanged a single word with the man) and I don’t recall him ever seeing him wearing shorts.

[BattleshipBob]

Not English but yes our welsh postie wears shorts in all weathers, one tough pat! Never seen his cat in shorts ??

[JR]

John,
I can confirm that Post Office delivery persons DO wear shorts in South Gloucestershire :rolling:
Dave

Thanks Dave,
the ladies wear trousers.

They wear shorts around here in Rugby too.

Thanks Pete.

Well done John
Grabbing the figure painting by the throat
Are you joining the figure GB too?
And yes our lady post persons wear shorts in West Yorkshire.

Thats a nice haul John, You will be an expert at figure painting after that lot. I think all posties wear shorts now.

Paul it dawned on me when I had them all together how many there were, hope I can do them justice , or they will never be mentioned again.

Steve H

Thanks Steve.
OOH don't tell Si , he will want to move up there. :smiling2:.
Don't know about joining a group build for figures, when is it on ?, though I'm down for the animal names one.

John, did you leave any figures for other people to buy:smiling5:

My old postie wore shorts all year round! But our new post lady wears trousers...and they fit very well and she looks very nice in them, not that I’ve noticed.....Please don’t tell my Mrs :smiling5:

Si a few, had to go to one place as I wanted as much for the postage I could get ! .
As for the postal Ladies well fitting trousers I think the least said the better, I have written to Mrs Benson and you are moving into the shed. :surprised::smiling3:, but will be allowed in to cook.

A quick look on the web confirms this is common throughout the uk .

" Yes .it is a Competition to a point....Who has the best stamina within
the Delivery Office to weather climatic conditions before putting on long trousers !
But additionally, it makes sense to wear shorts in the Wet Weather .
Unless you have been a Postman, you won't understand.
Nothing to do with Uniform which is provided....except with long trousers , & plastic coverings, make you more uncomfortable.
You get soaked through quicker, & they make your legs sweat.
Its better to get wet legs & wet shoes, rather than uncomfortable
wet clinging trousers.
Remember a Postman walks around doing a walk, delivery, for a period of more than 6 hours, each day, &without break in the drizzle & pouring rain...! "

Lee I've put it well out of the way, :smiling3: I could just imagine Christine mistaking it If I took the can into the house, death might be a better choice.!:surprised:

Death by far is better than a woman scorned
