Painting update/Club News.

As expected,we learned today that Carronade show at Falkirk has been cancelled due to this virus-a great pity but understandable in the circumstances!
I feel "blessed" at this time,in that this hobby has given me two wonderful things:-something to keep me occupied in times of need,and,possibly the greatest thing anyone can have, Good Mates who have all phoned to make sure my wife and I are okay(special thanks to Paul for getting us a chicken and rare tins of Ratatouille!!!)-couldn't do without you lads!.
Well,I've been "cracking" on with the Ranger and Courer du bois figures(I've actually seen three different spellings of these!!)

Block colour has been put on the lot-green for rangers,brown(different shades) for the others(see the way I avoided the spelling thing?) I have decided to paint eight kneeling figures first,so that I can fit them into an existing plastic canoe or rowing -type boat.

First eight,almost complete-these are nice figures to paint-although I must admit that ,for my eyes, there are too many straps to wrestle with!

He looks a bit aggressive doesn't he?-in the background it looks like there's a "line dancing" class going on!!

Top photo shows Rangers in the canoe,bottom shows the "others" in same said canoe!!
I have stuck the figures onto a narrow base,because they will only be used in either the canoe or the rowing boat.

Highly decorative rowing boat,c/w Rangers-you can just see the narrow base that I stuck them to.

The rest of the figures are progressing nicely,and should be finished in a couple of days time.

I set myself two targets for today-one was to gain an audience with the Pope,the second was to contact a Doctor about my awful cough(and hopefully get some anti-biotics),well,I am seeing the Pope next tuesday(flights permitting!) but so far no Doctor,still I will keep trying!!
Please keep reading my "drivel" and commenting where appropriate.
