Good News/Bad News.

Bad news-have had to cancel my audience with the Pope(no flights!) Good news is.....................

I managed to get a "triage" nurse to prescribe some anti-biotics-hurrah,so should see the back of my cough by early next week
Even more good news-I have finished the Rangers and Courier du bois figures,unforunately I don't have any card to mount them on,so they'll have to wait a few weeks before I can get them onto the table!!


I'm quite pleased with the results,let's see what the Indians make of them-eventually!!

I found an Elephant in my garage this afternoon-as you do!!

I found this,complete and in a plastic bag,in my "rumble box"(remember the old rumble boxes you used to find at shows??) and ,of course, it is my next painting project.


The damned things never went together properly,but a bit of the old "polyfilla" does the trick!!


Everything stuck,just need to put them onto their painting bases,and the project will begin!

Ready,steady............................

As this fantastic book has a whole section on Successor Elephants,I will be using it as a painting guide.

  1. Good to hear from you again John, you do know about the side effects of those tablets you were prescribed dont you? Love the elephant, he's a belter, instead of polyfilla try 'no more nails' The stuff is great for gaps and easy to use.

      As for side effects,yes they give you "cloven" feet!!!
