Nothing to do but paint

My wife has headed off to her parents for a couple of days. She has given permission for me to do whatever I fancy! So I'm about to sit down and paint!

I thought it would be good to track progress and see how much I can get done in ideal conditions for painting! So here is where I left off a couple of days ago...

Next update Will show progress!

Approximately 6 hours have passed and I've done nothing but paint. All I managed however, were the 26 orc infantry. The 'Tin cans' and the 'Choppers' still await my attention! However the light is fading fast, not that there was much as it has been constant grey clouds and wet weather all day!

Time for a break...

Back in the game...

Back in the game people! Back in the game! 

- Well some Orks for the neighbours kid. I had to start somewhere and these have been hanging around for a while...

I had to wait until I had finished putting a new floor down in the conservatory. And who likes the summer sun really? I much prefer a nice grey day that allows me to get out the paints and have some me time. :)

Back in time...

Well everyone in web o sphere is talking about fun had by all re-enacting their youth up in Nottingham last week. I probably could have made it for a day, but 2.5 hours drive there and back wouldn't have made much sense. Anyway, I'm totally jealous of all the old school heaven everyone else seemed to be enjoying. 

I thought I would throw up a couple of photos of me from way back. Shamefully I used to actually wear the t-shirts! Between them and my shockingly camp posing I can't think why I didn't have a girlfriend.

Apparently wasting good camera film on toy soldiers wasn't the done thing way back then. Just me looking very young and before I got fat in America.

The pose reminds me of elves poncing about the forest...
