Cheers Chaps.
The varnish mishap nearly consigned them to being dunked in paint stripper,and thrown it a draw to think about what they'd done.
The castle is still not finished infact the gateway still needs tweaking and leaf litter adding as I find a Spring,Autumn feel is more appealing than either Summer or Winter.
I've pretty much gathered enough materials. To resume building the keep. As building an interior takes twice as much materials and nearly three times as long to finish ( he said pointing out the obvious

My Carrot isn't based upon his description at the start of the book. Rather it's inspired by the description of the show down with the dragon, and the line ' No bloody lizard does that to me'(paraphrased slightly) .
I've a certain Orangutan and less than enthusiastic 'Wizzard' to paint . The one thing I didn't make was the luggage .Which is tempting to do given time.
I've two dragons from the range.Bought new when first released (At the time they made a severe dint in my savings from my Saturday job)
Over the years they've been rebased ,tweaked and repaired .
Somewhere along the line I've lost the accompanying miniature for the Oriental Dragon. But I've still managed to keep hold of the knight.
I know there's dozens of more modern dragons knocking about. Many far better sculpted and much much more imposing on a table. Infact I've coloured in a few for other people.
Regardless of new and shiny Dragons,this old orange dragon is still the one I drag out when I need a dragon mini.
