And here we go!  Just sat in my garden painting these five fellas.



My biggest issue now.....I can’t find ANY superglue in the house to start the foliage process!

Yes.  I’m usually a little anal about sticking to Loctite, but for these trees, the cheaper glue is fine.  I have three polyfibred.....and may just have enough for a fourth....but will need to buy more to get all five done.  Anyway, so long as weather lasts, and my strength returns, I should get four of these finished tomorrow.

Today’s progress.  Just managed to stretch my poly fibre and foliage to cover them.



Hopefully tomorrow will see them vined and lower canopied like the one in the back ground...

Easy enough to do Dan....give it a whirl.

Ok, not wanting to run the risk of being accused of being distracted, I spent 10 minutes staring at my hull template before deciding to start adding some detail for what will be my little steam paddle boat.  I recently picked up some pulp minis savage seas sailors and some detailing such as harpoon (for catching dinos obviously) life rings, search light etc.  Also have some port holes, and cleats etc somewhere.   Don’t really have a plan for it and it won’t be built in a hurry.

If your happy, don't give a fig about distractions.
It is a hobby & therefore to be enjoyed.

Very true.

Dull weather next week.....so back to sorting the trees me thinks.

Quite chuffed.  Whilst sorting through my pirate box, I came across this chewed lizard.  Will be cool in Dino park.

Not sure.  I probably picked it up at Triples...about 6  - 7 years back.

Will have to make a small jungle base to lay it in...will look good.
