Project up-date,and Coronavirus hair warning!

It's taken me a year or so to grow a "full set" ie. moustache and beard,but yesterday I decided to shave it off and reveal my face to the world again!-However,as my hair is growing at a most ridiculous rate(I tripped over it twice!!) I also decided to cut that too-now comes the warning-Do not let your wife(who is only partially sighted,and has a left hand tremble) talk you into letting her cut it for you!!!!!!


Initial reaction was one of horror-it's all supposed to be the same length!


Oh well,they say the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is two weeks-I think I'll just get my whole head shaved!!!

My latest project is coming along "swimmingly"........................................

From this........................

To this in just a few days,plus,as you can see,I am also making some Barbarian types too.

4th cohort on the go,and in the background number 5-I haven't decided yet whether to make a whole legion(10 cohorts) or stick at 5,whilst making and painting some more barbarians-decisions,decisions,decisions!!
Finally,a congratulations to Pendraken(Leo and family) who have taken to producing face shields for the NHS,using their laser cutting machine-marvelous stuff,whilst still producing MDF bases for us wargamers.
Finally,finally,best wishes to my old mate Charlie Wesencraft,who recently moved into a new flat within a sort of sheltered accomodation complex , which has a case of the dreaded virus-keep safe mate!

  2. Cracking haircut John! Just calling it the Corona Cut could make it sound trendy! I see the lockdown still hasn't stopped the painting output. Nice one.
    Best wishes to Charlie, hope he's on the mend.

  4. Howay John dont scare everyone with your new hair butchery. If you put lard in the mop and painted yourself blue you could pretend to be an ancient Briton.
