You don’t want one of them landing on your back!

I'm a big man, I can take it!

In fact I made them back during my Art Degree.
They were tests bits. Found them, you wouldn't believe it,
in the bottom of one of my fabled 'boxes'. Stuck them to a
couple of old CDs, slapped on some filler & made the bushes
from an old paint brush abandoned by my lovely wife.
She remembered what her dear father had told her about
putting a paint brush into, a something like, an old jam jar,
which had been filled with water. The idea was to clean it
with... White Spirit, or whatever, later. Only she completely
forgot about it. I found it months later. No good for painting,
but great for bushes/reeds.

I have a batch of those Mcragge power fence pylons, very useful.

So what is your criteria for selection when deciding what to paint next then?

I have tried all kinds of 'criteria' but my butterfly mind just rebels.
Now it is what interests me/ what can I do quickly/ what do I need soon/
(lastly) what REALLY MUST be done.
This weekend I hope to start on my Anglo-Spanish Napoleonic troops.
It interests me, I could finish off some relatively quickly & I need something
battle ready soon (There are a LOT of nasty French out there)
Besides if I leave it for now, the 're-enforcements ordered will arrive & I
might feel swamped. Big danger of moving onto something else.
Most of the recent stuff has been an effort to reduce the clutter of unfinished
on (what should be) my wargames table.

Magnifique. Are they some kind of beaded jewelry that you have applied your artistic skills to?

Yes they are beads. I saw them in a craft shop (can't remember which) years ago.
Like most of my purchases they sat in a box... & that was it until now. Too much
spare time = backlogs/half done things/forgotten projects, are all starting to get
my attention.

Today we have... a Leprechaun.  If you ever find one, took me years to find this one,
he has to take you to his crock of gold, but... if you take your eyes off him, even for a second,
he will disappear!  I was going to take more pictures of him but...

syrinx0, you ain't gunna believe it... He has vanished!!!!!

Today's offering is two Sci-fi figures. The great thing with
Galactic Heroes (present chosen set of Sci-Fi rules) is that
I can do up odd figures & get to use them.
These have the temporary names of 'Gasmask' & 'Sunglasses'.
