Aside from domestic and building related things, I haven’t
done much since the last post. Hands haven’t been behaving. So painting or
anything more delicate than shifting stuff around and little patching jobs have
had to be side lined. Still, onward and upward eh? Thought I’d better produce
some actual evidence of the cause of my grumbling, so here’s a piccie of my
right hand – being right handed, it seemed the obvious choice:
Sympathy cards and cash can be sent via HM the Queen.
Anyway, I have actually been able to pick off bits of
painting in short, irregular bursts (no change there then) so I’ve added a few
pictures of WIP stuff. No apparent sign of consistency of theme so, on that
front, all things are quite normal. There are a couple of chips here and there, caused by gravity, which need touching up. The first is the Warlord Games Gustavus
Adolfus figure (now demoted to an ECW Royalist cavalry field officer) waiting for his horse and some glue and the rest are from the

Going to Partizan this Sunday, if only to see Pete’s new
banner for his VBCW game. I’m not sure it’s entirely his game, but he’s been fingered for it. Have a look too at the

at the VBCW stand located at DG19 at 13:00, or when the big hand is at 12
and the little hand is at 1, if you’re from Norfolk. For those who are relying
on satellite imagery, here’s a shot of the game banner, shamelessly nicked from
Pete:
Figures look fantastic! Figures, well, not so fantastic. Hope you heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks gents. Hands have been like this for over a year - maybe closer to two, come to think of it. Bit frustrating and the medicos have tried all sorts, but having ne idea of the cause doesn't help. Sure we'll get there in the end though. (Moanin' b******) ;O)
ReplyDeleteThat's cracking work Gary even with the hands of an office worker!
ReplyDeleteHa! The accuracy of your dig went askew when you said 'worker'. Chris reckons they're friction burns from counting my money - glad she left it at that! :O/
DeletePaper cuts?
DeleteYes, it does.
DeleteOuch that does look painful, but still managing to produce some quality work I see.
ReplyDeleteIt makes nose picking very difficult so I have to find something to do . . . .
DeleteThose miniatures look great. Hope the hand heals up for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, on both counts.
DeleteBeautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks George (though I think you're stretching a point) 😉
DeleteNice painting work Gaz, as usual. See you on Sunday matey.
ReplyDeleteRighto. I'll be wearing a red carnation and carrying a copy of The Times ;O)
