It ain't arf Hot Mum!!

Over the last few days I have forced myself to do at least a bit of painting, it has totaled the flesh on some Welsh bowmen and the grey on some F&IW French and that is it 5 days and two colours added......
So I have been working on a bit of prep, I have been basing and prepping Irish SAGA and some Saxons for my Dux B force. I have my leaders kindly donated by Loki and the rest of the force will be made up of GB Plastics ( great fun and quick to put together BTW)


and after all that effort tonight it is even too hot to sit in the painting room for more than an hour, I cant walk the dogs yet either so taking my chance to post on the blog. I was very pleased to see that my last post got so much response I do so love getting you all thinking.
Lastly I have to say I do so love the new technology I already love the fact I have all my music on my phone but now I can also keep up with the ashes and the open while still painting (or prepping see above)
That's all for now I am off to make a cold drink hope you all find a cold hour to get our brushes wet.
Peace James

    I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me. I don't think it's too hot; I'm enjoying it (and yes, I'm getting some painting done).

    So freaking hot and humid here. The heat I can deal with, but the humidity is a killer (45C today with humidex!), I litterally sweat all over my figures after 5 minutes of painting!

    Almost no painting done the last 2 weeks... :-(

    Well I'm sitting in a 12 x 15 foot weighbridge, with window all the way round. Its cooling down now but you can't open the window for fear of being invaded by literally hundreds of flies from the recycling depot over the road, not to mention the bloody stink from it..................oh the joy!!!!!!!

    Who would have though that we would all be moaning about how hot the summer is? I've managed to get some terrain bits and bobs done though.
