Fantastic work Steve,, better buy one of those boonie hats to keep the rays off of your head

A rare photo of " Rivet " Jones relaxing at his out door seating and chipping area wearing the aforementioned hat.


This was taken in his younger days whilst sitting in the garden of his woodland retreat in Devon.

Hi Everyone

Pleased to meet you Paul. Great to have you looking in. Glad you like it
Looks like JR has got that covered Joe:smiling3::smiling5:
How much did you pay my Mrs's for that photo JR?? That was back in the day when I could sit in a fold up chair without it being crushed:smiling5::smiling3:

Steve,
The weathering process is superb.

More wonderful work Steve. And while you were scrutinising 'Ice Cold in Alex' did you get a good look at Sylvia Sims? I definitely think the tractor needs a female driver ( Ms Sims never looked lovelier than in that film).

Steve,
The weathering process is superb.

it certainly is,Steve!
I am in awe. Do you use a brush to make the dots, or a cocktail stick(or a pin...)?

[JR]

Great work mate . :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Not much for the photo, only .50p, told her I was hard up and a pensioner, took pity on me.

Hi Steve
As good as it gets.

Hi Everyone

Many thanks Scottie. There is more to come
I expect you know the low cut top picture of Ms Sims embracing Sir JM Peter. It caused quite a stir at the time and was cut from the film by the censors. Also Sir JM said it took 7 to 8 takes at the end of the film when he had to down a pint of Carlsberg. He said he was half cut by the time the director was finally happy with the scene.:smiling3:
I use a brush Neil. Just splatter the paint using varying consistencies, colour and substances to vary the effect.
I think she took a shine to you JR. Your a lucky man:smiling3::smiling5:
Kind of you to say Jim. Many thanks

[Strenko J]

The bar just keeps getting set higher and higher with every build that you construct. Just fantastic use of paint color, weathering, and now pigments... Never a disappointment to watch one of your builds my friend,, superb work
