Wall art? Seriously? That thing belongs in a local museum! Nice!
Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Thankyou gentlemen
@ Dan...trimming at your command..a bit better. Its lichen sprayed with varnish then sprinkled
Its coloured sawdust and shed loads of pva.
@Big mike...I should have had a spear sticking out of the Blue Pig!
No Clive but a reference...interested in the XX having the Pig as theirs and Clive's also...falling out over deities always a good reason for a war.
Added a spear and a hare...

Cheers again ...bought some more tufts today and started dressing the set tonight. Couldnt resist a bit of ..how will it look with the other stuff.
I'm looking forward to setting it all up and making up a story to match...er I mean re enacting a scenario using a good set of rules
Bit more work on the pool at the back..same cheap and cheerful solution to water...paint and varnish.
needs a bit more 'swirling'...its not subtle but it will do for me.
Was in WH smiths looking at some of the modelling magazines...those guys build and paint to a 'reality' standard. It was like theyd taken pictures of actual tanks! Humbling.
Thanks for all your support folks. Wouldnt have undertaken it or finished it without this forum.
The beast is nearly tamed
Then there's a small matter of where to keep it
