The last of the current batch painted for one of our club members: link Nice to paint, but fiddly until you get the hang of them! Or maybe I was just being a bit dim… Hope they are of interest

Does he pay you, or is this for friendship's sake? |

Thanks for looking, that was quick! Keraunos is right; by way of explanation, these are kind of for friendship's sake. Our club member (Willie by name) was victimised by a break-in and a lot of his collection was taken and/or destroyed. I'm sort of helping him to replace some of his ancients by painting units as and when I can. If we stick with the Parthians, he'll have enough to pincushion my Romans… Cheers, all! |

What can I say, painting figures keeps me sane in between batches of work stuff! |
| Keraunos | 01 Sep 2011 7:31 a.m. PST |
in that respect, the evidence is not quite as strong as you may think, me old china. |
| Caliban | 01 Sep 2011 7:36 a.m. PST |
Sanity is a relative concept… |

Caliban; come to my house, it's a little west of you, I have a large lead pile to work on! By the way they look great those nasty little Parthian's! |
| Caliban | 01 Sep 2011 10:55 a.m. PST |
Cheers, Oldbob, that's the kind of reaction I was hoping to get – the nasty little bleepers. I don't know if I can take you up on the invite, though. I will be applying for a job in southern Califronia soon, which is at least on the same continent! |

If you get a job their, I'll introduce you to my brother-in-law, major general John Harrel retired, He loves ancients. |

Sounds good to me – the job is in Santa Cruz. Assuming I don't get the one in Australia first. In traditional Scottish style, if you're going to move you may as well do it properly. I seem to remember seeing that there are more MacDonalds (people, that is!) worldwide than there are Scots in Scotland, so I might as well think about joining the exodus. |

Nice work on the Parthians, Caliban. Santa Cruz is not in SoCal, BTW. I can see where people might be confused about that on account of the surfing, but I assure you it's NorCal. Good luck with your job prospects, it's a very pleasant place to live. |

Thanks Paul Have been trying to paint some of these chaps for ages – bit of a block there. Took a while to assemble and they have been sitting there half done. Maybe now that I see that others have made the effort I will do the same. Well done. Garry |

Hi Corporal Trim, thanks for the clarification. I spoke to an American I met in Prague during the summer about Santa Cruz, and he said it's quite far south. But then he works in Seattle, so maybe that had something to do with it! Hi Garry, good luck with the figures. I found them to be a bit of a pain at first, but once I got used to them they were fine. I must admit that I put off doing them for a while… |
