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.
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.
ReplyDeleteRobbie,Brian and I are great fans of "No More Nails",but you can't get it for love nor money-have you been stockpiling it??
DeleteAs for side effects,yes they give you "cloven" feet!!!

A positive day for you, I do like that elephant but will it fight along with the rangers or courier du bois?
ReplyDeleteHi Allan,that made me smile!!_I can imagine the look on the faces of rangers and courier du bois when an elephant bursts out of the forest-magic!!

Nice work, both painting and finding medicine and elephant.

Looking forward to seeing this John
ReplyDeleteGreetings Dave H-I will try and take my time painting this lovely model,I usually am in too much of a rush to get things onto the wargames table,but as we all now have loads of time,I will hold back and try to do a decent job!

You can never have too many elephants. Hope cough clears up quick sharp! Cheers, Chris
ReplyDeleteHI Chris,anti-biotics kicking in already-what a relief! I agree that you can never have too many elephants-thinking of a solo Successor game now!
