Virus Crisis 2.

Bored?-what,me bored!-it's only day three of my self-violation,so what have I been doing to keep myself amused?
Well,I have a most "disturbing" cough,which I've had for weeks,which starts at my toes and ends up nearly bringing my lungs up!!On Tuesday tea-time I coughed so much that I couldn't breathe,starved my brain(?) of oxygen,passed out and fell and hit my eye on a cupboard handle!-I couldn't remember anything about it until my wife picked me up and started to mop the blood up-well,the next morning(Wednesday) at about 7.30am I had another coughing "episode" resulting in another fall,onto the bedroom floor,cracking my head and bloodying my nose-again,I couldn't remember a thing!!-However,I can now control the bloody cough,so no more falls/pass-outs,just a very sore head,eye and body........................


Poor old soul!
I "dug out" some figures which I have had for a couple of years today,undercoated them,and will hopefully start to paint them tomorrow(unless I decided to head-butt a floor somewhere!)
I don't know the manufacturer,they are French/Indian war figures(rangers and courier du bois) and the animation is very good-can anyone help to identify the make??


There's about 36 of them,top photo-bottom photo is some kind of officer figure-too much detail for any sane man to paint though!!-as per my usual painting method,I'll probably just paint over the detail I deem irrelevant!
My eyes(the good one that is!) has drifted more and more to my neglected guitars over the past few days,so may take playing up again,when I finish these figures-could I combine the two and use one of the figures as a Plectrum!!!-now I'm wandering!!


"Busking" can be quite lucrative,but I'm sure people used to pay me to "STOP" playing!
Anyway,I don't think I can stay away from this little beauty for 13 weeks!

I will keep you up to date with painting and news as it happens,and,hopefully, the rest of the "boys" will contribute with news and text and photo's.
